Why do ID photos make people ugly?

Certificates can make people ugly for the following reasons:

1) Equipment used when taking photos.

Because the shooting documents are not too demanding on equipment, it is impossible to use particularly expensive professional photographic equipment. Moreover, the shooting unit will not choose particularly expensive equipment because of work needs, which is suitable for practicality and good quality. In contrast, there must be a certain gap between the photos taken and the photos taken by professional equipment.

2) The skill of the photographer.

Certificate photographers are basically the staff of the units required for certificates, and it is impossible to have the skills of professional photographers. In shooting angle, shooting light, shooting application and so on. That's just an ordinary level of photography. As long as the photos of the required witnesses can be taken well and realistically, there is no need to further beautify the effect of the photos, so the photos taken must not look good.

3) Requirements for the subject.

It is impossible for the photographer to make up, decorate with costumes, wear jewelry, necklaces and other decorations when taking ID photos, let alone modify and beautify the photos later. So the effect of shooting is definitely not as good as going to a photo studio.

4) shooting environment.

When we need documents, we will go to the relevant departments to handle them. Compared with natural conditions (such as relaxing when going to play), people's mental state is definitely tense and cannot be relaxed. Look unnatural when taking pictures. The shooting effect is definitely not good.

In short, we will be more restrained when we take the certificate than when we take it under normal conditions, so the photos taken are naturally not good-looking.
