When I take pictures I refer to using my snap chat, this is because I don't have a good phone camera, and whenever I get pictures with it I don't feel like posting them not that they aren't beautiful but because they bring out every detail of my face, plus my pimples , rashes , etc what so ever I have in my face it brings them out. To avoid this I use snap chat's beauty filter which smoothens my skin and makes me look better. I also use the various filters to make my pictures look better. These features give me the confidence to post my pictures without worrying about how I look.
But using a snap chat camera I get to use my filters that don't make those thing so visible on my face. There's also something fun about playing with the different filters, it's like a virtual makeover. Plus, I can adjust the intensity of the filter to make it as subtle or dramatic as I want.
There are people I have met that don't like using snap chat. They have their reasons just like I have my own reasons for using them, and I don't think it's a bad thing to use this effect for a picture you want people to see. It doesn't necessarily change the person you are, but rather it's is a form of keeping and preserving memories. I and my close friend and even my sister use snap chat, but there was a time we used my sister's new phone camera and everything was okay with the picture.
There are a few things I like about snap chat, but it depends on what you like and what you don't like. For me, it is fun to use it, especially since it's fun. I like to take funny pictures and videos and send them to my friends. It's also a great way to keep in touch with them since I can send them messages or stories. I love using the filters and stickers to make my pictures look even better.
Could the photo of the person have deceived me?
Nah I don't think I have been deceived by a photo especially when I met the person physically, sometimes photos don't do justice to peoples appearance, even meeting them physically is better off, cause you can see the detailing of that persons face and body the picture wants to show you. Photos are just an image, they don't show any personality or character. Meeting someone in person allows you to get to know them on a deeper level and understand them better. It's a much more valuable experience than just looking at a photo.
With that being said I haven't encountered someone who doesn't look like their photo, the only thing I notice about meeting them physically is that they look more better in person than in the photo, there are some persons who don't even use filters on their photo, but they always look so good like someone I know.
Well another reason why I still choose to use my snapchat because I don't have a good camera, but if eventually I get a new phone with better picture quality then I don think I need snap chat again.
