Why Do I Look More Beautiful In The Mirror Than At The Cameras. by Mrshape: 4:31pm On Aug 28, 2019
I have been wondering for some time now,
The simple mirror make someone more beautiful than a camera,
Besides which is the real beauty of an individual is it the mirror or the camera.?

I believe looking at the mirror has its own spark.
You smile all you want, you kinda see what you look like inside and the mirror helps see it facially.
They're just so many things or how good you'll feel about yourself in front of the mirror than the camera.

Nice points u made,
But if I am to go by does point a selfie should be same as a mirror because everything in terms of ecstatic arrangement you can do with the mirror you can also do with the selfie.

But the reality is the mirror image is still more beautiful than the selfie

What can you say about that?
Re: Why Do I Look More Beautiful In The Mirror Than At The Cameras. by HaryoBamex(m): 8:55pm On Aug 28, 2019
It cos you're more used to the image on the mirror than the camera.
Re: Why Do I Look More Beautiful In The Mirror Than At The Cameras. by KennedyOkpara(m): 9:16pm On Aug 28, 2019
It because the images of a phone are heavily distorted creating features such as larger nose and smaller ears. Next time you take a picture flipping it by the side would make things better.

Meaning that the image of the phone is not the real image of the individual?
So the beautiful image I see on the mirror is my real image?

Ok.
It seems you don't experience the disparate.
Is your phone camera image and mirror image same?
Or your phone image is better?.

That will help us to know if the discrepancy is entirely the fault of a bad camera

Lol. From the point of view of a professional filmmaker, I will explain better. The mirror is not the true reflection of how we look. The mirror flips the image. Your right is your left. Stand in the front of the mirror, hold a cup and see if the mirror shows you the right hand or not. You don’t look uglier in photos, you simply look different from the false image your mirror has shown you all your life. It is what you think you look like but that is not what others see. What they see is actually the image in the photo. Believe me, you still look beautiful. Angles in photos can distort your real look.

Meaning the more the megapixel the more it gives us our fake image,
because an explanation from @Damsonke
Convince us that the image from the mirror isn't actually how we look.
Hmmm.
Is it supposed to be that way?
Isn't the higher the megapixel the more it suppose brings us to reality?

From you assertion

*The reality is the mirror the higher the megapixel the more it comes to reality.

*that means the mirror is the real image


We now have two different points of view now.

@Domsonke what can you say about this?

Mirrors are more bigger, brighter, sharper and render more realistic imagery compared to any camera out. The images taken with cameras are usually color-enhanced and thus, less realistic. That's why some people can appear more photogenic on pictures than they really are.
