    1. The lens in phone camera is distorting the picture. It’s better to take photos from a greater distance and then zoom in/crop the image. Or take your photos with bigger less curved lens.

      You look weird to yourself in photos because you are used to looking in a mirror, reversed, so you aren’t used to seeing everything on your face in the correct orientation.

      Also because when you aren’t looking at yourself, you forget to do things like not allow yourself to hold your head in a way that makes a double chin.

      I hear sometimes people get used to the reversed mirror image and find nonreversed camera images to be subtly off. Sort of like being used to how your voice sounds to you and finding the recorded version weird.

      You usually think you look better in mirrors because that’s the version of your face you’re used to seeing. Other people are used to seeing the nonmirrored version of you, which is why pictures often look more normal to them. I’ve actually tested this myself by looking at people both face to face and through mirrors, and they genuinely looked more off in mirrors to me, while they thought the opposite Your brain just gets attached to whichever version of your face it sees the most.

      mirror = flat plane

      camera lens = curved plane

      curved plane has variance in the image produced based on the size and shape of the camera lens. also, position relative to the camera’s focal point will alter the image captured.

      most mirrors are flat and reflect near-perfect images back, despite size

      I recently tried to setup a bumble profile and had my wife’s friend give me tips. Her tip was “we’re taking new pictures because guys are not photogenic in their own pics”. She was right, I look better in all the pics she took rather than the ones I took.
