Exposure effect is also known as "look more effect", "simple, simple) exposure effect", "pure) contact effect, etc. it is a psychological phenomenon, which means that we will prefer things we are familiar with. Social psychology calls this effect the law of familiarity. I sorted out why I look better in the mirror than in the camera. Welcome to use it for reference.
Why do I look better in the mirror than in the camera
I: it's all caused by the "refraction of light"
The mirror we usually look at is a plane mirror. When the light shines on the plane mirror, the whole will change the direction of reflection in a parallel way, so the self in the mirror is the most real appearance of ourselves.
The lens of the camera is a convex lens. Because the convex lens has the property of converging light and the concave lens has the property of diverging light, a group of convex lens and concave lens combined lens in front of the camera (concave lens is to increase the shooting range), and the final effect is convex lens.
It is precisely because the convex lens has the property of converging light, it will inevitably produce lens distortion. According to the different focal length of the lens, the distortion degree of the photos taken is also different. Although we feel flat when we look at photos, in fact, deformation has occurred when we image.
Normal image, barrel distortion and pillow distortion
We usually take pictures with mobile phones. The focal length of mobile phones is about 25mm-35mm. The shorter the lens focal length is, the more distorted the portrait will be, as if the face protrudes, there will be barrel distortion. When taking portrait with long focal length, the face will become wide and fat, and pillow distortion will occur.
When the focal length is small to a certain extent, it becomes a fisheye lens (less than 19mm):
Therefore, the photos taken may not be like you in the mirror, which is mainly caused by the imaging principle of convex lens. In addition to the strange camera, in fact, when we take photos, there are some external factors that will affect our imaging, which looks different from ourselves in the mirror.
II. Different angles
When we look in the mirror, we are usually parallel in front of the mirror. When we see ourselves in the mirror, we are basically parallel, but when we take pictures, we will inevitably take pictures from above or from below. At this time, the difference caused by the change of face angle will feel different from what we see in the mirror.
III. mirror imaging
A basic fact is that our faces are not symmetrical (for example, the right face is slightly larger, or the moles on the left and right faces are asymmetric). When we look in the mirror, we see the opposite mirror images of the left and right faces (this is determined by the parallel imaging characteristics of the mirror), which forms our perception of ourselves. In fact, the picture is what others see us in reality.
Look at yourself in the mirror, in the picture, in the eyes of others
To sum up, in fact, it's just because we look at the mirror for a long time and get used to the way we look in the mirror, so we look strange when taking pictures.
6 selfie skills
01 ◆ selected scene
When shooting scenes at ordinary times, we will pay attention to avoiding the messy background, so when shooting ourselves, we should also choose the right place. When you are outside, you can choose some simple and artistic backgrounds such as cafes, bookstores or the seaside. If you want to take a third view, delay shooting and front camera.
Pick a sunny day, draw a delicate makeup and match it with the appropriate lip color. When the sun is full, people's skin will appear white. With a look back side face and some messy hair blown by the wind, it's the feeling of first love.
If you are at home, you can take a group photo of Meng Chong and let it block your face in front of you.
If you can't find a suitable place, use a solid background. However, the background color you choose must match the color of the clothes, so that the whole picture can be harmonious. (I love to shoot like this, because I never have to worry about skewing the next item P, and there is no trace in every drawing revision
02 ◆ select props
Hats can be said to be a must-have for people who can take photos. Shirley wears a sun hat, which covers most of her face at once. The most important thing is that the brim of the hat blocks the sun, so she won't be blinded in front of the camera.
The hat on the clothes is really the best prop to use, which perfectly modifies the shape of the face. IU this photo is really a good neighbor. With a crooked head and a trimmed pink sweater hat, the dim light not only obscures the defects, but also modifies the facial features with shadows.
Clever use of leaves and flowers can block the imperfect chin. Also, the little sister Li biblical holding a bunch of flowers is really super sweet.
If you want to take the lovely route, you can hold a doll or bring a cup of milk tea and boldly use everything on the camera.
The mobile phone case is also a good photo aid. It happened that I bought it last week. I can't wait to put it on for photos.
Zheng Xiujing belongs to the type with large skeleton, but looking at this one, she covered half of her face with a water cup. Her eyes inadvertently looked away, and she could not detect any signs of obesity.
03 ◆ select angle
Every girl's face is different, and there will be different styles from different angles. Therefore, we need to adjust the lens more and find the most attractive angle. For example, slightly lowering your head on the side is visually much more gentle and comfortable than the large face on the front. By the way, you can trim the outline of the hair on both sides.
For another example, if the chin is short, you can look down from bottom to top, and the whole person has a super aura. If a girl with one eyelid pats like this, she will protrude her eyes and look bigger and more divine. (use with caution, sister)
If you don't need some strong lights at night, you can't find places that are too warm.
Finally, the composition is the most natural, which makes people feel a little casual.
04 ◆ choose posture
Scissorhands don't seem to be suitable for everyone. They didn't intend to push a little old pose. But you will find that with a slightly rich expression, it looks good and won't make people feel dull.
Crooked smile, it is said that this is the best girlfriend perspective.
Holding your chin in your hand can help you shape your face. But don't lean hard. Just touch it gently.
Feel the bangs with your hand at will to ease the embarrassment that the other hand has no place to put. (this time, it's finally my turn to demonstrate by myself. Yes, this is Qin Guoben.
05 ◆ select expression
The biggest obstacle of my selfie is that I can't manage expression. The expression is too stiff, which usually makes people think you are deliberate. Even selling cute will bring discomfort. Sometimes in order to shoot our eyes very big, we deliberately keep our eyes wide open and stare at the camera closely, but the way we behave is very rigid. (fortunately, this one still has IU's appearance.
If you want a natural effect, you don't need to stare deliberately. Generally, it's good to take a picture of your face at the first moment when it enters the lens. Remember that it must be the first shot, so as to create a casual feeling for others. This one is obviously much more pleasing to the eye than the last one.
Squint smile, cleverly avoid the camera, will not be so embarrassed. Anyway, I have no resistance to girls who squint and smile.
Or lower your head and play with the things in your hand, and inadvertently write down this moment.
06 ◆ optional drawing app
Another essential step is to repair the map. Sometimes in order to cover some unwanted backgrounds, I will find stickers matching the style to cover them. Picsart has all kinds of stickers. You can search for what type you want, and the frequency of use is up to five stars. Some original designs need to be paid, but most beautiful ones don't need to be paid.
Then carry out filter color matching. Nine CHILDES have taught you how to use vsco color matching before. They are super beautiful. If girls want warm, small and fresh colors, they can try the filter in girlscam. It's a girl's sniping orientation.
