Flip the image horizontally, be amazed at how much "better" you look.
Asymmetry is surprisingly noticeable.

it's the distance not the lens
hold it at tele distances and crop for he same result
it's also why mirror selfies look more flattering than front camera selfies

Only if your nose is the same distance from the camera as your eyes. Are you Chinese?

Anon, how do you think people take those photos of the "giant" moon beside buildings? If you had ever used a telephoto, you'd understand. Go and look at some videos of airliners taking off on YouTube. Look for ones shot on long lenses... notice how the farthest part of the plane actually looks larger? Why do you think that happens?

Why do people feel entitled to being attractive? The saying "everyone deserves to feel beautiful" is bullshit.

It's 4chan, none of us are attractive which is why we're here. Normal society ostracizes most of us so we convene here to jerk each other off. We're all social outcasts.

That's distance lol, never saw the farthest part "actually looking larger" though. The "giant moon" is perspective compression, pic related. It's all the same thing, not the lens but the distance.

Contrarian retard. You can't even see his ears on the left.

It's both. If you hold a phone camera at arms length it makes you look bad. If you get someone to hold it so that your whole body is in the frame it's fine but it's kinda hard to take a portrait at that distance.
Even with all this a 24mm and a 50mm or 85mm will never give you the same look even if you compensate with different camera distance.

The entire point is not compensating, and using some support if necessary. It's the distance alone that determines the look. The 24 and 50 will give the same look if you take the photo at the same distance as the 85 and then crop. But quality will be worse because you're cropping.

subject distance determines the perspective distortion
focal length just determines the field of view
24mm + crop will look the same as 85 from the same distance

Once again it's both, retard. You still need a long focal length to get the moon size, you aren't going to zoom with your feet there. You have never used a telephoto, lol.

Optics change things by bending light. This goes for any lens. There's more to how an image looks than distance, friend. It's down to the optical formula (including focal length) and distance from the subject.

Those examples were to get your brain moving, anon. I see it didn't work.

All lenses distort light differently, at different rates and angles at different parts of the frame to get the result you need. All of them, anon. You already said that focal lenght just determines field of view, and that is wrong.

The shitty wide lens on a cellphone takes shitty selfies because 1) it has a shitty optical formula and 2) it's too close to the subject. It isn't just the distance, it's both. Yes it will be better farther away but a telephoto also offers compression. It will make the face look completely different, often in a more flattering way depending on the face. It is not just distance, that is wrong. You are wrong.

yes, but >>4189866 and >>4189837 are true
cellphone selfie distortion is from the camera being too close, nothing more

can you show me an example of two lenses of the same focal length that illustrates what you mean? how does the optical formula change perspective distortion?

Does this happen with a normal camera too?
People compliment me a lot and tell me I'm handsome but I usually look like shit in pictures, with whatever lenses and from different distances. When I look at other people on the same pic they look just like I see them in real life, so it's obvious that the ugly motherfucker in the pic is how they see me.
I realized I have very bad posture or something like that. If I angle fraud I can look good, but not on normal pics where I'm relaxed.

Yes, they're the right way round. You have only ever seen a mirrored reflection of your face, you're not used to seeing it the right way round, which is why you think you look weird in pictures.
Flip those pictures you mentioned horizontally and suddenly you'll look normal and everyone else in the shot will look weird.
Why do you think so many e-thots flip their pics & videos horizontally before uploading? So they look right to themselves, they look how they look in the mirror.

not him, and I agree with you about which one looks better, but I doubt there's as much consensus on this was there used to be:
cellphone selfies have taught most younger millennials and all zoomers that the archetype of a "sexy" photo looks like the first selfie their middle school crush posted on social media. That is, 28mm equivalent and taken at arms length. The medium is the message anon.
