How To Look Better In Photos
Most first impressions now happen through a lens, and the same face can look wildly different depending on how it's captured. These are honest skills — the goal is an accurate, flattering photo, not deception.
Distance and focal length
Phones held close distort features — enlarging the nose, shrinking the forehead. Step back and zoom in. Distance flatters.
Lens height and head position
A lens at or slightly above eye level, with chin forward-and-down and shoulders back, flatters most faces. Practise until you know your angles.

Light is everything
Soft, even, slightly elevated front light is forgiving. Face a window. Avoid harsh overhead and under-lighting. Good light beats any filter.
