Most of us don’t like the way we look on camera. There are several reasons for this, and one of them is simply that the camera makes you look as if you have put on weight. This is not out of spite, it’s something the camera can’t help doing. Consider a camera’s job. What it does is take three-dimensional reality and compress it into a two-dimensional image – flattening image depth, as it were. This is why we will always look, well, broader on screen. There’s a saying in Hollywood that the camera always adds ten pounds, and sometimes even more.
