There is a big difference between looking at yourself in a mirror and looking at yourself with a camera. Why is this? How to explain it scientifically?

Photos are static scenes, and some people cannot have a good expression or state in a moment. So it seems somewhat unphotogenic. The whole process of looking in the mirror is more dynamic. You will find the best angle by yourself, and the human brain will self-perfect the image in your mind when you look in the mirror. So often people don’t look as good in person as they do in the mirror. Forgive me for my confession. From the perspective of others, the person in the mirror is closer to others. Because you process the image in the mirror, and someone else processes the image in reality. The final result of the process is that you find the mirror pleasing to your eyes, but others find reality pleasing to your eyes. You think reality is ugly, others think the mirror is ugly. In terms of image properties, of course, the real image is close to what others see you as. Because we usually see ourselves most in the mirror, we automatically look for the best angle, and our face gradually adapts to the mirror, so we feel beautiful. However, the mirror is the opposite of the human face, and few people have it. Your face is completely symmetrical, so what others see of you is the reverse of the mirror. So, don’t be obsessed with yourself in the mirror every day, that’s not the real you~

In fact, whether it is in the mirror or in the photo, it is the real you, but sometimes our thinking will be affected by the environment. Changes amidst changes, let’s talk about mirrors first. The premise is a non-distorted mirror. Why do we always feel that there is a big difference between what we see in the mirror and what we see in the photo? Because the image in the mirror is dynamic, we I am far less sensitive to dynamic images than static ones. Photos are the freeze-frame of each moment. If I see unsatisfactory expressions and movements in the mirror, I will adjust and correct them artificially, so that when I feel in a good state, I will naturally I am satisfied, and the dissatisfied expressions and movements have passed and will not stay in my memory. Therefore, what I see in the mirror is very natural and real, and the good pictures are selectively retained in my memory. inside. But photos are different. Just like a beautiful video, if you keep pressing pause, you will find that 90% of the freeze frames are not what you want. There is very little beauty in it. In fact, taking pictures It's the same reason as this.

How to capture the most perfect picture in an instant requires the tacit understanding and skills of the photographer and the subject. When we appreciate a photo, we will carefully appreciate every detail. As long as there is Even the slightest flaw will make you feel regretful, and it is precisely because photos can accurately examine themselves and retain themselves that they are the real charm of photos. Moreover, photos can also allow us to express ourselves more artistically, beautify and transcend the reality of ourselves, which can make us more confident and restore the dream self, even if we know that the you in the photo is your essence expression, even Some people doubt whether it is you, but we are still happy and we still like it. Nowadays, everyone likes to take selfies. Taking selfies is a combination of looking in the mirror and taking pictures, retaining the moments that you think are the most beautiful, and expressing your better side, because only you know yourself better and can better cooperate with yourself to take pictures of yourself. When you get the picture you want in your heart, that is also the most beautiful feeling.
