For anyone who needs to hear it: photography is not an objective view of reality. A photo of you is biased by the lens and many other factors.

if a photo causes you to feel dysphoria, it does *not* mean that that’s how you are perceived in an everyday environment.

I’m reposting this publicly, so that anyone who needs to hear it, sees this post.

Even if you only compare focal length, which is a characteristic of the lens, you will get very different results.

Photography is not an objective view of reality.

Smart phone focal lengths are generally unkind.

@maddiefuzz Are these photos also taken from different distances?
