Why is the photo on the ID card so ugly?

Take a closer look at your photo. I wonder if you have the feeling that your forehead and nose are getting bigger? This is a masterpiece of amateur photography, short focal length, standing close, fisheye lens effect. The nose and forehead are easy to shoot, and the chin is small.

In real life, the photos we usually take are flat, but the human brain can get three-dimensional information from the plane (no one thinks their photos are just some patterns), because our brain will have an "average" image, just like some people say the frozen face effect.

It's just that our eyes are dynamic cameras, and the pixels of our eyes are many times higher than those of SLR. When taking ID photos, the camera records the light and dark information at a certain moment, which is different from the average light and dark degree we usually feel when looking at people, so some people will think that the photos are different from the people we usually see.

To put it mildly, the police uncles who took ID photos were unprofessional. They are just amateur photographers or because of limited conditions, they often ignore the treatment of these lights, which will exaggerate the defects of the model and even cause defects that do not exist, making the model look ugly.

In real life, when you look at something, you will automatically "brainstorm" various effects caused by ambient lighting, but when you look at a photo, the lighting conditions in the photo have no environmental reference, so it doesn't look as good as in reality, such as skin color.

Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter whether the photo looks good or not. The key is that you can use it normally and look ugly. As long as the people in the photo are not completely different from those in real life, the police uncle can't recognize them at all.
