Many girls like taking pictures, but why is looking in the mirror different from taking pictures?

Mobile phone photography has reached a new level every year, such as portrait mode, AI selfie, super wide-angle photography and so on. So powerful that we are more and more addicted to taking pictures. However, despite the powerful self-portrait beauty and filters, we may find that the photos taken by mobile phones are obviously not as good as those in the mirror. Why?

Exposure effect or just exposure effect.

Looking in the mirror every day, we tend to look for the best angle and expression. Most people generally beautify the look in the mirror by as much as 30%. After all, people only look in the mirror to find the feeling of confidence, so we are already familiar with ourselves in the mirror. Taking photos, especially other people's photos, will give people a sense of strangeness, and basically taking a photo is a brand-new feeling. If the real photo deviates from your perfect self, then you will naturally recognize the familiar look in the mirror.

The difference between dynamic and static

The same person, watching videos and photos separately, generally the video effect will be better. Similarly, we in the mirror, like us in the video, are dynamic and three-dimensional, while the photos are static and flat, so we will look good in the mirror and the photos will be ugly.

Focal length of mobile phone photos

Whether it is a mobile phone or a camera, taking pictures has a focal length. Different cameras have different focal lengths, such as front camera and rear camera. The focal length of the camera will affect the effect of taking pictures. For example, the greater the focal length, the wider the viewing angle, the larger the face and the smaller the focal length, and vice versa. So when taking pictures, adjust the focal length to a lens of 50mm, and maybe people will get closer to the effect of looking in the mirror.

The influence of mirrors and light.

The image of people is deeply influenced by mirrors. In terms of types, mirrors are long and short, round and flat, transparent and opaque; In addition, the placement effect of the mirror, the reflection of light in the room on the mirror, etc. , will affect the imaging effect of the mirror. But you must firmly believe that the types of mirrors, the inclination of placement and the lighting settings on different occasions are all conducive to presenting the most beautiful and handsome you. So often when you look in the mirror, you will find it looks better than the photo.

Here, our biggest concern is coming. Is the mirror or the photo closest to the real self? Take a look at these two statements.

Photos are more realistic: because the mirror shows you, you are easily influenced by emotions, makeup and the placement of the mirror.

Mirrors are more realistic: because taking pictures is a one-time molding, it is deeply influenced by the camera angle and beauty function.

I want the professor to say that whether you look in the mirror or take a photo, it is a reflection of your true face, but the mirror is ourselves in our eyes and the photo is us in the eyes of others. So when it comes to which is more real, the mirror will be more real, because people are diverse and changeable, and our changes every minute will be reflected in the mirror for the first time.

Finally, how to take pictures more truly and beautifully? Bottom line: a good camera phone, photographer (usually someone else's male or female ticket), light, various camera postures, angles, moods, and most importantly, your face value and later P-picture solution. Have you learned these clever tricks?
