Seeing something Different in Picture and in person

[Haus]

Do any of you see your self Different from when you look at pictures of your self and when you look in the mirror or a reflection of some sort.

when i see pics of my self im like Ewww but when i see my self in the mirror i look Fine to my self. i dont understand how or why it works that way for some people.

Im the same way. Thats why I hate having pictures taken of me because for some reason they always look like crap. Sometimes I do look like crap (like when I first roll outta bed)!

you really just have to learn how to take pictures I think. You have to know what angles look best on you and stuff. Having someone take a picture of you while you're looking in a mirror can help also. Lighting adjustments can help too, camera flashes tend to wash people out, so if you have good lighting you won't need a flash.

i'm not very photogenic. every now and then I take a good picture but i usually hate pics of myself. It just doesn't seem to look like me.

 

[Crazy Legs!]

That's not the case for me. Maybe it's just your facial structure.

Edit: The worst I ever looked in a photo was my 7th grade school picture.

When I was a teenager I used to hate photos of myself or looking in mirrors because of my horrible spots. I guess it tought me to apreciate not having them because now I don't have any hang ups about my looks even though I'm not exactly Brad Pitt or anything.
