Why Some People Appear Older In Photos

Many people feel they appear older in pictures than they do face-to-face, a situation that is quite bothersome for many who ordinarily would like to reference their pictures with their ages.

Indeed, it can be a bit upsetting, especially when you feel young at heart when the picture appear to say otherwise. Here are some  reasons  people  look older in photo than in reality.

Stress or Awkwardness

Feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera can lead to stiff or forced expressions that alter the image that comes out. Tension can show up as tightness around your eyes and mouth, making you appear older.

Make up or clothing

Certain makeup products can appear too heavy or shiny under flash photography and can make you appear older in a picture than in real life. Similarly, some clothing colours or patterns might not flatter you on camera as they do in person.

Unflattering  angles

Photos taken from below can highlight areas you’d rather not focus on, like a double chin or neck lines. The angle of the camera plays a big role in how you look in photos.

Harsh  lighting that highlight wrinkles

Bright or direct lighting can create strong shadows on your face, making fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable and make you appear older in the picture than you are real life.
