Whos lying, Mirror or Camera?
Why do I,&&alot of other people, look different in pictures then in the mirror?
What do we truly look like,
Tha mirrors image or the cameras?
I would think
the mirrors image is what we truly look
like because, when you see sum1 in person
and then look at that same person in a mirror,
they look the same.. right?
but,
I was reading stuff on google && alot of people
think the cameras more truthful because what
we see in the mirror is reversed..
Soo whats your opinion???
Srry just a curious young female tryin
to geta answer..haha ;]

Dude, I have totally wondered about this before. You can check out some discussions on this one forum. There several threads on it:

A picture can give you an angle that a mirror cannot. You also get the whole picture because it is on a much smaller scale, and you can look at your whole self at once. When you look in a mirror, you kind of have to move your eyes around and scan from top to bottom because you have to be close enough to see yourself. On the other hand, you can also take pictures from deceptive angles. You can position a person's body in a way that makes them look thinner, and take the picture from a certain, more flattering angle. So cameras can be both very accurate and very deceptive at the same time. Some women have a tendency to stand in a different way in front of the mirror that might be more flattering, but do not carry this better posture throughout the day. So if you snapped a random photo of them, they probably wouldn't be standing up straight, so they wouldn't look as good as they thought they did in the mirror. For these reasons I think photographs are more accurate. This is how it seems to me.

Yes, the mirror reverses the image, whereas the camera doesn't.
So technically the camera would be more truthfull, but then I think that in pictures it's a still image and people often look a lot different to how they look in real life.
I think the only way to really see what you look like is to watch yourself when you've been filmed (on a video camera, for example if you and your friends happened to filming a day out or something), that's what you really look like.
Sorry if this wasn't really answering your question, but I think it's debatable whether the mirror or camera is more accurate.

Well, a mirror reverses the image, so making your spot on the wrong side of your face or watever, and a camera is the actual way other people see you.
The reason why people usually look more normal in a mirror, is because in a picture, they aren't moving so your eyes pick up on the details you wouldn't have noticed before (like a spot).
Mirrors move with you so they look more realistic.

well a mirrors you see what yout tecnecly looking at just backwords. its the same thing. and in camera's you can change the picture i think the mirror is more truthfull.

not a problem. i believe that even the in the mirror your reversed but with a camera especially with people who know how to photoshop and twick up their images are fack, since if they don't like the way they look in the mirror they can't fix it but with a camera and a person who knows computers can.
hoped i helped
