they are the opposite of selfie camera lens distortion, the make your face wider than how people see it

model photos, double mirror from like 3-5 meters away

Someone taking a candid video imo

they basically capture too much from the sides of your face, this is what an extreme version would be

Fuck, thats gonna be pretty difficult to set up.
I might give it a shot tho

Would putting the phone on a tripod and filming yourself from an adequate distance also work?

a single mirror works fine too, as long as its not one of those tiny mirrors, they distort your face the same way selfie cameras do

Yeah but make sure the lighting is normal
