There are no 2 photos exactly the same and there are no photos that can accurately display realityWww@QuestionHome@Com

It could be the angles and the lights, I've noticed that if there's more light in my room my pictures of myself tend to turn out more darker, when I'm actually quite pale!. And if your camera has extra settings that can alter brightness, color, then try those out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it might be that your smile is unnatural or forced when you take pictures!. like kind of fake!.
maybe you would look different if someone took a picture of you when you least expect it!.!. maybe more naturalWww@QuestionHome@Com

because a photo is a mirror image of what you see in the mirror!. but it is what others see when they see you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I could be the lighting of the camera or the angle of your face!. practice in the mirror and see if different angles make you look different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
