Question: Who's telling the truth, the camera or the mirror!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The mirror image is the way you usually view yourself, but it is a reversed image!. The photo is corrected to depict how you actually appear!.
That's the truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

definitely closer to the camera than the mirror!. photographs, especially candid ones, display your image more or less as others see you!. in a mirror, you are always looking at yourself from the same angle, and others see you from an infinite number of angles!. I believe that the truth lies somewhere between, because your self-image is an enormous part of the truth, yet the whole truth also includes how others may perceive your image, your actions, and your wordsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Most likely the camera!. The mirror can be warped slightly and show a distorted image!. It may be so slight that you can't tell it is distorted (or don't want to see it)!. Even a slight distortion in a camera lens will be very obvious in the picture because of the magnification!. Therefore, the camera is more likely to be telling the truth because a lie would be very obvious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that is a great question!!! when i pose in the mirror i look so different when i do the same exact pose in the mirror!. I think the mirror is a big meanie and just likes to trick people, but i also think it is a great friend when i need it to get the embarrising crap off my face in time to go in front of a whole buch of important people!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The eyes tell the truth!

The camera doesn't lie!.!.!. the photographer would be the liar, they choose the angle and lens!.!.!. which may distort you!.

The mirror doesn't lie either!.!.!. the person who created the mirror would be the liar!.!.!. it can distort you as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
