THE BIG NOSE
By Michael W. Rogers
I will spend about 4 hours a day on LinkedIn looking at people's images. Professional or otherwise. When I see a cell phone pic, I can tell how far away the cell phone is. And LinkedIn does this more than any other platform.
I learned headshots from Vegas businesspeople by watching them. I did events for 4 years, and all I did was watch people and how they used their cell phones. Especially the males. And it made me confused. Most business people, when it comes to headshots, want space. They do not want tight headshots, and they will let you know it. But go to an event, they got that cell phone all up in their grill, and you can tell because their nose gets big.
Camera lenses on phones, when held close, distort facial features by magnifying the object closest to the camera (the nose) while making ears and back features appear smaller. A study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery confirmed this distortion by creating a mathematical model, finding that 12-inch selfies significantly enlarge the nose, which has driven an increase in requests for rhinoplasty.
How to Fix It: To get a more accurate, less distorted image, use a selfie stick or hold the phone further away—roughly 5 feet—from your face.
