Why is the original camera uglier than the mirror? Which is more real, a photo or a mirror?

Nowadays, mirrors and mobile phones have become the most commonly used tools for people to look at their own values, but many people feel as beautiful as fairies after looking in the mirror, but they are not so beautiful when taking selfies. So, why is the original camera uglier than the mirror? Which is more real, taking pictures or looking in the mirror?

First of all, the original camera is uglier than the mirror for the following reasons. Because of the focal length, some people take photos with long faces, narrow faces, thin faces, or large faces and wide faces, which are not as accurate as those reflected by the mirror. Moreover, the pixels of no mobile phone are better than those of human eyes, so people will look better when they see themselves in the mirror, and the users in the lens of the mobile phone will not look better in the mirror because of the focal length of the light angle.

Secondly, you are more real in the mirror. Mobile phone imaging mainly depends on the lens, which will produce perspective deformation, and it is easy to change face in some cases, and the mirror is the most real proportion seen by the eyes and the reflection of light. Of course, nothing is absolute, it only applies to flat mirrors, not to some special mirrors, and the mirror is dynamic, while the camera is static. The movement of the characters makes the naked eye ignore some defects on the face, and when it is still, people will focus on the details on the face.

In short, whether you look in the mirror or take a photo, it is a reflection of your true face. Whether you look in the mirror or the camera, it is a virtual image. Instead of caring which one is more like yourself, we should study how to make our real self better.
