Why is my face wider in certain photos?

[Deleted member 3259]

When I have photos taken from like maybe 1-2 meter distance, then my face is quite wide, same with my ID card for example, on those I got 2 fwhr, but if I take a photo from my phone, not even with front camera, but back camera, and I reach my arm away to take the photo, then I will be like 1.9-1.95 fwhr.

Which one is accurate?

You should be worrying more about your iq at this moment then your facial width tbh

ok

Sorry about that, but this shit ia very obvious, it's because the closer your camera is to your face the more lens distortion happens and your face becomes longer

Tbh I dont think it is super obvious. People bring up lens distortion when it comes to the front facing camera. I didn't know that there was lens distortion with the back side camera as well, since I thought that the lens on the phone from the back would be better.
