Why do i always look fat in pictures?
I am a professional photographer among other things in the music industry and it depends on who is taking the picture and also how you pose can make you look up to 50lbs heavier than you really are. If a person shorter than you takes a picture he is pointing the camera upward and will make the skinniest person look chubby and add a double chin. I am sure you have a digital cam, try for yourself or a cell camera and practice taking pics. I used to model back in the day and if you watch Tyra she always says practice your signature pose which is usually a 3/4 turn but if you want to email me a good pic and a bad then I can tell what is wrong or if you need a must have pic I will fix it for you FREE of charge. I know the feeling ;)
Why do I look so ugly and fat in pictures?
I feel like I have to take literally about 60 pictures to find a few I like of myself. Pictures really make me look like a different person! They make me look huge, weird and just overall ugly. Please don't be like, "well you're picture is pretty so you're lying-" It's one of the few, remember. I know there is nothing I can do, (even my friends agreed that I don't look how I look in pictures btw,) but why is this? Am I just not a photogenic person? I tend to get really upset and down by this because I feel like the only girl that doesn't love taking pictures..
Why do pictures make my face look fat?
The picture that you have provided the link to has been taken from a very close distance and most-probably with a slightly wide angle lens. Wide angle lens tend to exaggerate the distances and at close distances make things look rounder. The face distortion is one such thing. You can even experiment it on your own. Close one of your eyes and from the other try looking at your friend from very close distance (few centimeters). Photographers had long realized this and the inverse that happens with long focal length or telephoto lenses. They tend to compress the distances and so slight telephoto lens is usually used for portraits. If you want your portraits to be better (so that you don't look chunky), try keeping your camera away from yourself. Better still buy a good camera, mount it on a tripod and use a timer or remote if you want to make self-portraits making sure that you use slightly higher focal length (zoomed in).
Do I look like a fat pig in this picture?
I think I weighed around 145- 150 there, not too sure, I weight about 160 now, my gut has bulged a bit, and I'm tryin to get back to that weight, if not smaller than that. My arm flab is totally out of control. lol.
Why does the camera make my Nose looks so HUGE in pictures?
Getting some analysis on why you look one way or the other is infinitely easier with a pic, for future reference. Couple quick pointers that might help you. Take the pictures pretty much dead straight on, slightly above eye level. You may or may not have to turn off the flash completely. What the objective is is to eliminate one of the dimensions of your nose. In this case depth. The flash will create a shadow which is an indicator of depth. If you can keep this shadow minimal, it will be better. Don't hold the camera when you take the picture. You need to have the camera back further and zoom it in some. This will hopefully eliminate some of the problems created by short lenses. Its kind of the same problem you have when you look at a 2 dimensional rectangular map of the world. Greenland looks as big as South America or bigger, and its actually like 1/2 the size of it. It has a self timer, learn how to use it. OR have someone else take the pictures. The best way is to have lighting that comes from both sides to eliminate shadows from the nose on one side and severely minimize it on the other. But with a point and shoot type camera and likely no other lighting (like strobes), this is not a great option. Ironically, I have very little nose maybe a little more than Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies, the later ones like Goblet of Fire and after. If I'm not facing dead on straight to the camera, my profile looks like my face is smashed against a window. I have to follow pretty much the same rules to eliminate indications of depth. Or I just darken my face so you can't even see it. http://www.pbase.com/inspzil/image/12072...
Why do I look fat in some mirrors and pictures?
According to my BMI, I have a BMI of 19.1 and am close to being underweight. There's a mirror in my house where I literally look monstrously fat, but there's another one that makes me look so skinny that I feel like I should stuff my face. Also, in pictures (particularly webcam pictures), I look quite chubby and my thighs are huge. It's so frustrating! I used to be anorexic, and now I think I'm developing it again. I'm 5'3" and 109 pounds, by the way. I run everyday around 2 to 3.5 miles and I'm on the track and cross country team. My Mom always tells my older sister how thin, muscular, and beautiful her legs are, but never anything to me. I always catch her staring at my legs though, and then I get mad. :( I feel like I'm worth nothing
Why do some people look totally different in pictures than in real life?
It isn’t just in your head.When you take a selfie at arm’s-length, with a smartphone, for example, since cameras have either one lens, or several in close proximity, you end up with a slight fisheye effect. When cameras take photos, they separate the foreground, middle ground, and background very differently than two human eyes do. This exaggerates the depth difference between parts of your face, making them look disproportionate.Your nose can appear significantly larger and rounder, relative to the rest of your face, because it is perceived as the foreground, while your ears can look much smaller, as they are perceived as the background. The rest of your face tends to look slightly rounded off, more narrow, and less structured, with minor asymmetries exaggerated.The closer you are to the lens, the more distorted your face will appear, but no matter how far you are from the lens, there will always be distortion.This also is true for the rest of your body.Depending on someone’s actual features, lens distortion can work for, or against them. This is why some people look significantly more attractive, or significantly less attractive in photos. This is the real reason people say the camera adds pounds. The less structured someone looks, the more body fat are perceived to have.What is really interesting is that there is a very simple way around this distortion. Take a photo in the mirror and flip it. The distortion will be gone.This is how others see you in real life.To illustrate this, here are two photos of me taken two minutes apart in about the same spot, with the same lighting, at a similar angle, and both with the same neutral expression. One is a regular selfie, and one is a mirror selfie I flipped post factum.Regular Selfie (extremely distorted):Flipped Mirror Selfie (not distorted):
My hips make me look fat? Picture included?
You sound like my niece, which is also 14 y/o. Getting admonished by people does not help. She sees herself as fat because of her mother. parental examples do play a huge role. You have a rather flat, and nicely shaped stomach. If you want a little more definition, try going to the gym and doing the ab machine and the ab oblique machine. Remember to make sure you use very low weights and do alot of reps. All you want to do is tone your muscle... not build it up, or else you'll look like those body building women that look like men. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/abs/exercises/top-10-abs-exercises/ http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/abs/exercises/flat-abs-core-workout/
