爲什麼別人給我們拍的照片都很醜?範例

I am a landscape photographer, generally, but occasionally am called on to photograph the occasional human or two.

總體來說，我是個風景攝影師，但我偶爾也會被叫去拍一兩個人像。

I pull out the big camera with the telephoto lens and wide scatter flash.

我拿出了我的大相機，上面裝着遠焦鏡頭和巨大的散射閃光燈。

“No, can’t you… like use the phone? That will bring out my flaws.” Actually the reverse is true.

”不，你能不能……比如，用手機？這個東西會把我拍醜的。“實際上事實正好相反。

We look distorted in the phone cameras, better in standard 35 or 50 mm and even better in 135mm, but the best images are in telephotos.

我們在手機鏡頭裏是失真的，而在35毫米或50毫米的標準鏡頭下則好很多，在135毫米鏡頭下則會更好，不過最好的照片還是要用遠焦鏡頭來拍。

Because the wide angles distort our face. 85mm is considered the goto standard for portrait, 135mm a good plus, anything above is a bonus.

這是因爲，廣角鏡頭（手機的就是這種）會讓我們的臉變形。而85毫米的鏡頭則是拍人像時的首選鏡頭，135毫米的則是錦上添花，更高的則更好。

Anything below, like our cell phones, is not going to make us look our best, not going to look like us.

而在這個標準以下的，比如我們的手機，是不會讓我們看起來太好看的，甚至都不會讓我們看起來像自己。

But there could actually be More to it. Beyond the photography lesson. I see a different image in the mirror.

而且實際上還不止如此。撇開攝影知識不談，我們在鏡子裏看到的自己（和真是情況相比）是不同的。

Because on picture, you lack of Motion.

因爲圖片上的你是不動的。

You seem much more attractive in front of your mirror than on a picture ; because mirror reflects the way you behave, the way you truly are.

你在鏡子裏看起來比在照片上看起來要有魅力得多，因爲鏡子裏的影像就是你平常動的樣子，那纔是真實的你。

Whereas in a picture, everything is motionless, without this light of life.

而照片裏，所有東西都是靜止的，缺少了這一生命之光。
