Computer video, photography, people in the mirror? Which one is relatively more real?

Mirrors are more accurate. According to the concept of physics, the mirror image is equivalent to changing one's position. All images are the same as the person's. The photos taken by the camera are only limited to the time when the shutter is pressed. moment. All objective conditions at this moment, such as angle, light, and depth of the scene, are limited, and the imaging effect and three-dimensional sense are also limited. When you look in the mirror, you directly use your eyes to distinguish the things in front of you. Compared with the eyes and the camera, of course the three-dimensional effect of the image formed is much better, and the image provided is real-time.

Because the camera lens itself is a convex lens, if you use the camera to take a picture of a straight line (at a relatively short distance), you will clearly see the bending of the straight line. Moreover, the convex lens is made of glass. No matter how pure the glass is, it will produce refraction and reflection of light, and the final image will be distorted.

Different exposure combinations of aperture and focal length can produce very different photos, and lighting will also seriously affect the photo effect. This is why a professional photographer can charge so much because he knows how to reduce the effects of the factors mentioned above on the photo.

The so-called photogenic is because the person’s face will look good after being distorted by the camera, while many people who look good in reality will be distorted to look unattractive. I remember seeing a famous photographer say that some celebrities don't look very much in real life, but they are very photogenic.

So for people who are very photogenic, their faces may not necessarily be really good-looking. To put it bluntly, they just look good enough to be distorted. If you want to take good-looking and realistic photos, there is a very simple way, which is not to get too close to the camera.

Finally, let’s summarize. Comparing the three, ordinary plane mirrors are relatively more realistic
