Why do some people take photos and videos that don't look like themselves? Some photos look better than me, and some photos are uglier than me.

Why do some people take photos and videos that don't look like themselves? Some photos look better than me, and some photos are uglier than me.

Because some people are photogenic, some people are not photogenic; Some people's photos are better than their own, and some people are uglier than themselves for the following two reasons:

First of all, the photo is a 2D plan, which still depicts a vivid 3D figure in reality from one angle. Plane pictures can't fully show the whole picture of three-dimensional characters, and many people's three-dimensional beauty (or ugliness) is often ignored or enlarged in their performance. Everyone has different characteristics in appearance. Some people look more beautiful on the floor plan, while others don't. In other words, some people are photogenic and some people are not photogenic. Therefore, when choosing actors and models, we should not only interview, but also audition, which is the reason.

Second, the different angles, lighting, gestures and movements when taking pictures, as well as the distortion caused by lens, focal length and shooting distance, will also make some people's photos look better than themselves, and some people will be uglier than themselves.

A person looks at it from different angles, and the feeling of beauty and ugliness will not be the same. To take beautiful portrait photos, we need to find out the most beautiful shooting angle of the subject with snacks, supplemented by appropriate expressions and actions, and choose appropriate shooting distance and lighting to achieve good results.
