i am into photography lately and i am hooked of taking shots all the time in the street or travel but i hate when i see people takin shelfies with their cameras. idont know i think its dumb. they take shelfies just to post in on IG and be in the shoes of a celebrity. i also hate when i see couples possing in the camera for a shelfie so the rest of the world knows that the guy has a gf big deal.
its not about photographyaddiction its all about social network addiction. if ig and tt never existed trust me not a signle teenage girl out there would be interested in taking photos with her cell all the time. They all wanna feel special and they think by posting private moments of their daily lives on social network people will admire them

I've never taken a selfie. I think it would make me feel conceded or shameful. I have no problems with the way I look, and I don't care how other people think I look. So why bother? If someone wants a picture of me, I usually have a professional photographer make a portrait, or someone I know will photograph me. I don't like photos of people who look at the camera when their photo is taken, and I've always preferred candid shots. There is something about people who are always seen taking selfies, that really just turns me off.

This definitely seems less concerned w the phenomenon of photographing and much more with selfie culture and social media. If it's really about photography, there's almost 200 years of history and evolution that should be taken into account. Also, you really only spoke to one photographer? and he's a LANDSCAPE photographer? Why not seek out a technical teacher at an art school? Or someone who specializes in portraiture or even a photo theorist.

Selfies are taken with smartphones with a wider focal range and are therefore unflattering. A 35mm camera with a portrait lens will with the right skill set, produce vastly superior results. The obsession with recording the most trivial is diluting the moment. Software correction is producing idealised versions of ourselves and not reality. Narcissistic tendencies and self obsession are the result.

The phone has a wide angle lens. Wide angle lenses have a barrel distortion, what it is photographed closer apears much bigger. That's why their heads/noses are much bigger in their selfies. :D Any photographer knows this. You generally use wide angle lenses for landscapes, not for portraits. The problem is that most consumers don't know what a wide, normal or telephoto lens is all about.

No offense to the phd guy, but he basically just did a book report on optics. Hardly new information. and the program he made just reinvented the wheel that's existed in Adobe PS/LR for like the past decade.

Selfies also look wrong because we see ourselves in mirrors and therefore backwards. Any asymmetry will look -wrong- because the photo shows what we actually look like, not what the mirror shows.

The distortions can be explained really easily. Humans have two eyes, cameras has one. If you look close at someone in real life with only one eye then those distortions becomes reality.

Oh so you need a plastic surgeon to tell you that wide angle distorts your face?
I mean focal lengths properties are some of the first thing you learn in a photography course

the problem is that we make ourselves look the way we want to for the photos on social media but not really change ourselves. be the change you want to see in the world.
