Why do i look bad in pictures but good in real life?

Question

I am more beautiful than in photos. What could be the reason?

Comments

Sometimes the camera pixel specifications might be the reason why one looks bad in pictures. This is why most women look for devices that have high mega pixel at least a minimum of 24 mega pixel camera in the devices to help make them look very beautiful.

wIt is because camera can hide impurities and can make people look beautiful even if they are not.

Some people are beautiful in real life than camera, and maybe because they are not photogenic at all. You haveto find an angle that make you look beautiful when taking pictures.

---

Maybe that is just what you want to believe. if anything i think it is the other way round. people may think they look better in pictures than they do in real life. in fact you are better off because there is nothing artificial it's just you. you should be thankful about that.

---

The picture quality may be poor..another thing is that some people are just not photogenic.I hardly take pictures myself because I fall into the category of those who are not photogenic.

---

If someone can take a picture when you don't know it, it will look much more like the real you.

Even I have experience the same thing I can't do anything but wonder why.

Answer 1

This is actually because you're used to looking at yourself in the mirror, which means that your face is the opposite of how you see it in a selfie. You're not used to they way it looks, therefore your brain interprets that as you being ugly. However, all of your friends and family members won't see it that way, because that's how they're used to seeing you. Because your features aren't reflected on a mirror, but instead faced forward on your phone camera, it makes you seem ugly when in fact you are not.

Answer 2

Yes. Some may not have photogenic face. But they really look good in real. Cameras are technology but human eyes are real. Camera is just an instrument and pictures are follow some rules. 

Answer 3

something bad is wrong with your phone camera maybe you should reset it it will show your face normal and good whereas there are some people look good in real face but look ugly in the picture

Answer 4

It is because you are not photogenic on photos. But, it can be enhanced with the right angle when taking photos of yourself. You can try it from different angles while doing a selfie.

Answer 5

u need to hire a photographer. Not every one know how to taken pictures but a photographer can help u get excellent pics. Hope u will understand what i am saying

Answer 6

Even I wonder why so many people look different in pictures from real life sometimes I wonder if it's camera fault or from the photographer.

Answer 7

Same as me. I look better in the mirror rather than in my pictures. Maybe because I am fat or maybe I haven't got the right angle when I pose. There are some people who's photogenic because they know good posing in the camera

Answer 8

The main reason why you look different in photos compared to real life is because of the camera angle, lighting, and other factors. In real life, you can move and adjust your facial expressions, poses, and angles to present yourself in the best light. In photos, however, the camera captures you in whatever angle and lighting it is set to, and doesn't necessarily capture your best angles. Additionally, photos can be edited to make you look different from how you appear in real life. To get the best results in photos, try to find the angle that works best for you, use natural lighting, and avoid too much editing.

Answer 9

Some people may look in photos and find their features staring out at them or they have a view that is not available to them in real life. Other people may feel more beautiful when in reality they are not as good looking in front of the camera as they want to be.

Answer 10

Because of how close your face is to the camera's lens, certain of your features may appear exaggerated. Photos can only capture a two-dimensional image of our true self. If your face is naturally round and soft, the flattening effect of photographs may confuse people about who you really are.

Answer 11

if anything i think it is the other way round. people may think they look better in pictures than they do in real life. in fact you are better off because there is nothing artificial it's just you. you should be thankful about that

Answer 12

Looking bad in pictures are really work of bad camera.

It's quality is very low and poor.

Nowadays,there are some latest camera that you can use to snap your self, you will notice that you are even more prettier than real life.

Answer 13

This is my problem as well as that's why I don't like to click pictures of my mine when I tried to find out the reason than  I found I am an Introvert actually whenever people try to take my picture I become nervous and this reason makes the pictures bad.
