Who is more real, yourself in the mirror or yourself in the camera?

Mirror is the simplest and most direct light reflection, without any flashy, and there is no possibility of later data processing, so it is the most real;

A camera (taking digital as an example) needs to get light through the lens, and many lenses are not flat, which will inevitably lead to distortion or dispersion; In addition, the camera has a data processing chip, so there will inevitably be electromagnetic interference in the process of converting optical signals into electrical signals, which will cause some pixels to be distorted. There is a term in photography called the color reproduction performance of a camera, that is, the color of the photo taken cannot be the same as that of the object 100%, and it can only be as close as possible. So the photos taken by the camera are all processed, and some of them have to go through post-digital processing. As a result, the self in the photo is not the real self, especially the wedding photos.

Is the traditional film photography, there are also chemical changes, but also the process of film development, these processes, through different adjustments, photos have different performances, so some people's photos look beautiful, but they are disappointing after meeting; Some people just can't take photos on camera, and the photos they take are not good-looking, but they are not ugly.

Whether it is a mirror or a camera, it is a virtual image. As long as a person's heart is beautiful, it is really beautiful, otherwise, it is all fake.
