But if you look carefully, something's not quite right about your close-ups.

如果你仔細看，你會發現你的近照看起來不太對勁

Selfies can make our faces look weird and it's changing the way we see ourselves,

自拍會讓我們的臉看起來不太一樣，而且自拍正在改變我們對自己的看法

and the decisions we make about our facial features.

還會影響我們對臉部表情的喜好

A lot of people think their nose looks big in selfies and it's driving them to get nosejobs.

有很多人認為他們的鼻子在自拍照裡看起來很大，進而去做整鼻手術

A 2017 poll found that 55% of facial plastic surgeons saw patients who wanted surgeries

一個 2017 年的數據調查顯示，有 55% 的臉部整形醫生

to make them look better in selfies.

曾看過患者是因為想讓自己變好看而動手術

That was an increase of 13% from 2016.

而這個數據和 2016 年比較，上升了 13%

But those complaints are often due to a distortion

不過這些不滿意的怨言很多時候是由

created by the distance between a camera and a subject.

相機和主體的距離所造成的扭曲變形

This is what a portrait looks like from five feet away.

這是距離 150 公分所拍出的人物肖像

And this is what it looks like from one foot away,

而這是距離 30 公分的照片

about the distance that most people are taking selfies.

也是多數人自拍的距離

That's a huge difference in facial structures, especially the nose.

這兩張照片的臉部特徵很不一樣，尤其是鼻子

A team of researchers found that taking a photo from one foot away,

一個研究團隊發現從 30 公分處拍照

makes the base of the nose look about 30% larger

會讓鼻子看起來比更遠距離拍照大 30%

and the tip look 7% larger, than they would from a further distance.

鼻尖也看起來大 7%

From five feet away, your features are flattened.

從約 150 公分處拍照，你的五官較平

From a foot, your nose is exaggerated.

從 30 公分處拍照，你的鼻子會比較大

So the parts of your face that are close to the camera,

所以最接近相機的五官

look bigger than they actually are.

會看起來比原本的還大

It's as if the nose is in the foreground and the ears are in the background, instead of

就好像鼻子是在前面而耳朵是在後面一樣

being on the same plane.

並非在同一平面

For now, long arms and selfie sticks are your best bet.

現在，你最好的選擇是長手臂和自拍棒

But phone camera software might one day be able to alter images with a treatment that

未來，或許手機軟體能夠用修圖來

simulates the effect of a distant camera.

模擬出由遠處拍照的效果

Researchers at Princeton created a tool that can manipulate the position and distance between a camera and the subject,

普林斯頓大學的研究人員創造出一種工具是

after the photo was taken.

在拍照後可以修改照片中人物的姿勢以及與相機的距離

So a close-up selfie like this, can be made to look like it's taken at a more flattering,

所以像這張近距離的自拍照，就能調整成

natural distance.

像是在更好、更自然的距離所拍的照片

It's not perfect,

這項工具並不完美，

but a version of this technology could help design the right tool for a forward-facing camera,

不過這類的科技能夠幫助設計出更適合拍正面照的相機

one that will make our selfies feel more like us.

使我們的自拍照長得更像自己
