Why are some beautiful women not photogenic?

First, the imaging principle of camera and video camera determines that there will be little distortion in imaging, and the difference imperceptible to the naked eye leads to some people just not being photogenic! Who are they? Is that those who look good are all white (me! Shameless), three-dimensional facial features (but not so exaggerated), Chinese face and other people who are not suitable for machine imaging. Because cameras and video cameras take pictures with optical principles and collect two-dimensional images, they can't reflect the layering of objects. In addition, it is difficult for us to feel the true outline of the object in the photo, which will magnify some flaws on the photographer's face. For example, if the face is angular, it is easy to be "flattened" by the camera, showing differences. Therefore, the position of the shadow is very important, otherwise a person's face will naturally look big when it is spread on a white plane.

For example, a person's nose is straight, but it is not perfect (but not too ugly). This shortcoming will not be noticed in life! ! As soon as she was on camera ... Emma's tall nose disappeared, and she saw her own nose. At this time, the nose must be shaded! ! Make-up at this time is to fit my image better! ! ! So "innuendo" is a must for photogenic makeup! ! !

Off topic ... I can only say one chestnut. There are two actresses in the entertainment circle who are not good-looking on camera, Lin Chi-ling's sister and Lao Xu's Xu ... but Lexus's sister's figure kills all otaku, and Lao Xu takes the intellectual route, not all by her face. (digress again. ...

Second, the camera equipment and technology

Equipment: Hmmm ... Many people take selfies with the front camera of their mobile phones, which are all kinds of mobile phones. Is there any good-looking portrait to shoot in Nima? From the domestic brand machine in my early years to the Samsung HTC now, and then to the iPhone, I have all kinds of distortions ... The face of 900 1 is distorted. Regardless of how poor their imaging quality is, imaging quality and imaging effect are not the same thing at all. Among all mobile phones, the best effect is the domestic miscellaneous brand with the worst imaging quality, or the rear camera is reverse shooting ... Is it a good rhythm to look good? Seeing this makes you feel good-looking, which is simply misleading life.

I haven't taken a portrait with my mobile phone since I started photography. At most, I have to be in an emergency when I don't have a SLR. (digress again ... forgive me for being bohemian and digressive all my life.

Technology: too much. The right light, right angle, etc. are all technical problems. In portrait shooting. In fact, everyone has an angle and light, which is beautiful and real (based on their appearance), but this, you really need a "talented" photographer to help you find it, of course, it would be better if you have this talent. Otherwise, it will only be discovered slowly.
