How come people look so different in pictures?

[Salahudeen]

I've noticed people in pictures compared to real life look very different, I've met brothers from on-line and I didn't recognise them because they looked like different people to their picture, and the same with me, I've been told I look like a diff person in real life compared to my pictures.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

As'Salaamu Alaaykum

because its weird, cameras sometimes make people look different, or because some people pose too much, posers...

Thats why some people rather meet someone in real life instead of 'picture-world'..or either gives one an idea of how the person looks..

same here, I think its cause we're not very good at posing, Its cause some people can't hold a straight face when people are taking photos, only when someone takes a pic without them noticing

[Muezzin]

It's because any pictures I post on the Internet are from Google Image Search.

Not really, I'm just joking.

...Or am I?

lol I get a shock when I see a picture of myself and think "Do I really look like that " because it seems so different to what I see in the mirror.

Person is all ways better sis because nothing can beat the human eye. Pictures can be very deceiving.

My friend has a Canon camera that he bought for £950 and when he takes pictures with it, it looks like real life to me. But pictures with other camera's all ways look way diff to the real thing. So yeah the more expensive the camera the better the pictures.

lol do you know how much £900 is ??? it's a lot of money when you have no job and you're studying. I get 3 thousand a year so 900 is a lot of money for me. I will have to stay with the old camera for now.

Bro, I was just kidding, of course you should keep your things as you like

and as a Muslimah i dont take photos unless I need for ID or the like, we went for 30days vacation I have 2cameras but I only take for husband, I only had two shots with him.
Perhaps if Im not a Muslimah yet I would insist to take that cam lool, I was needing lots of photos before to be inline with online friends and post photos, whoa lots of dramas,

I dont know bro, I am not against people taking photos, personally I dont like to take lots of photos, for some personal reason === I better keep it coz I dont like to discourage others about taking photos, okay well my reason is near to "why Muslims should not have photos on the wall or photos of Prophet Muhammad etc" well just like that, not too concise to tell you

[Who Am I?]

I hate how I look in pictures. I look like a dork in most pictures. That's why you won't see many pictures of me anywhere. There are way more photos of my sister than me in my parents' house for that reason.

[Ansariyah]

So long you look better in person than you do in your pictures you got nothing to worry about.

[Abz2000]

you see a full dimensional image when you see them in real life since you have two eyes to see them from two different angles and your brain turns them into one image,
also when they move their face, your brain registers that also and holds that in your memory.

from a picture - it'll usually be one dimensional and it'll usually be the best one out of many and when the person is in a certain mood.

[ardianto]

There were some cases which police arrested wrong persons because they looked like person in the suspect picture, while the suspects themselves looked different than the pictures.

get a good quality camera.. anyhow pictures are one dimensional we see multidimensional in real life.. so people look flat in pix naturally ..
