We’ve spent our lives looking at our faces in the Funnyahhtees Gatorade Khaled Shirt Apart from…,I will love this mirror, and we’re used to seeing our faces that way. So when we invert this image, it doesn’t look right. So if your nose is 2mm to the left, then when your image is in the other direction it will appear to be 4mm to the right from where you expect it to be. When you add all this together, when you find your face is reversed from what you expected, it’s you, but not you. And that makes you uncomfortable. Check out this image of one of the most famous faces in the world: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Which version do you prefer – left or right?
When I showed this picture to the Funnyahhtees Gatorade Khaled Shirt Apart from…,I will love this photography clubs where I teach portraiture, 90% of the audience liked the one on the left better – because it was originally painted. When I put an image like this (original and side-by-side) of someone no one knows, I get a 50/50 preferred split. So when you look at family or group photos, people look the way you expect them to – the way you see them every day. But this is not the case. Your face is upside down from what you expect. So you think you’re non-photogenic. Meanwhile, everyone is thinking exactly the same thing. So when you say to your sister, “You look great, but I’m terrible at this,” she thinks you’re crazy, because to her you look good and she thinks she’s crazy. that’s strange.
