Phi for All Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Define "totally different" and "bad" with regards to this phenomenon. There's a reason why you sound different to yourself than you do on a aural recording, but I've never heard of the same from a visual recording. It could just be the flash you are using, or taking a picture under bad lighting. Or you could be ugly. j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Maybe you're just not photogenic, and as Phi for All pointed out it all depends on light, angle et.c Light / shadow can accentuate or diminish features which could look good at certain angles, but can also make you look hideous. I'm not particularly photogenic but I've heard the contrary face to face (hard to say without sounding vain.) Keep trying I guess until you're happy with a result that flatters you're appearance. The paparazzi (especially UK tabloids) are masters at catching celebrities on 'off days' and making them look at lot worse than usual. The camera never lies, but it can bend the truth. Providing there's no post editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Maybe the camera phone is not good quality or because of the screen size the picture is stretched or compressed to fit on the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lol_can Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's pretty clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Then maybe like I said it's to do with the screen, take a normal photo of you and squash it in one direction, it looks all weird no matter how it started, maybe this is happening on the phone due to the screen on it.
