What Makes Some People Look Better in Motion?

[Moneymaxxed]

I feel like I’m a full 1 psl better in certain videos and in person for sure. What causes this?

answer: When someone is moving, the brain captures multiple images of the face and averages them out across various positions. The more the brain captures, the greater the opportunity for the average of those images to appear appealing. As the Digest article points out, this finding would jibe with previous research suggesting that average faces are judged as more attractive than those with extreme features.

Why You Don't Like Your Photos (Hint: You Look Better Moving)

Yep. Much easier to spot assymetries in pictures. Which is why some people are "photo-genic", they just have less assymetries and look better in pictures. So if you look like shit in pictures, but better in motion, it's 99% of the time cus of assymetries.
