It's ugly to take pictures with a mobile phone, but the mirror is beautiful.

Images taken by mobile phones and mirrors have their own characteristics. Sometimes, we may find that the photos taken by mobile phones are not as good as those taken by ourselves in the mirror.

First, we need to know how the mirror works. Mirrors form our images by reflecting light. In this process, the brain will carry out a series of optimization processing, so that the image we see in the mirror is more beautiful than the real self. This is because the self-protection mechanism of the brain tends to beautify our own image to increase our self-confidence.

Relatively speaking, taking photos with a mobile phone is a completely different process. When taking pictures, the light enters through the lens of the mobile phone and is recorded on the sensor. In this process, the lens of the mobile phone will produce some optical distortion, which will lead to the deviation between the taken photos and the actual images. At the same time, the pixel, color saturation, contrast and other factors of mobile phone photos will also affect the final photo effect.

In addition, factors such as angle, lighting conditions and shooting posture will also affect the effect of photos. If the angle is not good, the light is not enough, or the posture is not natural, it may lead to the photos not as good as those in the mirror.

Mobile phone shooting skills:

1, master light: light is one of the most important factors in mobile phone photography. Shooting in different light environments can get completely different effects. Therefore, it is necessary to master the characteristics of different lighting environments and how to use these characteristics to take better photos.

2. Composition skills: Composition is another important factor in mobile phone photography. Reasonable use of composition rules can make photos more beautiful and layered. Common composition techniques include trisection, symmetry, guide line, etc.

3, creative shooting: In addition to the conventional shooting methods, you can also try some creative shooting methods, such as backlight shooting, night shooting, macro shooting and so on. These shooting methods can make photos more distinctive and interesting.

4. Post-processing: The photos taken by the mobile phone need some post-processing to get the final effect. Common post-processing includes adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness, and using tools such as filters and cropping. Through reasonable post-processing, the photos can be made more perfect.

5. Pay attention to details: You need to pay attention to some details when taking photos with your mobile phone, such as keeping your mobile phone stable, avoiding hand shaking, focusing and depth of field. These details can make photos clearer and more delicate, and improve the quality of photos.
