Why Do We Look So Differently In Photos Than In Mirrors?
4. Angle
There is no person on this planet that has a symmetrical face. It’s true, for some is less visible than others, but that’s a fact – and it definitely matters to our photos. When you wake up and look at yourself in the morning, at first you see yourself from the same angle every single day – which creates the mental image that this is how you look most familiar. That’s why, when you see yourself photographed from a different angle, it may seem pretty weird, even though it’s still you.
