"the camera ad 10 pounds" is this true and if so why?

Real answers only please.last time i asked this adjectives i got was "what is this ask about" or "yeah so don't eat any cameras"

So for those who don't know their is a saying that the camera ad 10 pounds meaning.you look 10 pounds heavier on a picture that in TRUE life (nothing to do with ingestion cameras lol)

If it is true does anyone know why this is please?

Many Thanks
Sarah.

I think video cameras tend to be paid people look shorter and wider therefore giving the vision they weigh more than they do. haha people just speak that because they dont really know how they look until they see themselves in an actual picture.
they say it to net themselves feel better.


hahahahah thats the best i got :]
it all depends on the angle. everybody have a good and bad angle. my camera in truth has a slimming feature, so that's pretty cool. but yeah, anybody can look flab or skinny. just gotta get the right shot.

"yeah so don't guzzle any cameras" wow um... only somebody who would say something resembling that would be so stupid as to eat a camera
Answers:    I have certainly hear the saying before - but I don't believe it.
Perhaps it's lately an excuse for people who think they look 'fat' contained by some photograph.
Very few folk admit to liking pictures of themselves.
Unless, as expected, you are a celebrity being photographed adjectives the time and make millions out of looking fat contained by magazines.
it's due to angles. if shot from an angle your smaller number likey to 'gain' weight. shadow also has a factor to play in it aswell. but i'm no expert so i'm not great at explaining lol.
i remember monica saying that surrounded by friends only because she was so portly before she lost loads of weight, i really conjecture it depends what angle you take the pictures at i doubt its really true but just a myth it's due to angles. if shot from an angle your smaller number likey to 'gain' weight. shadow also has a factor to play in it aswell. but i'm no expert so i'm not great at explaining lol.

i come up with its just an excuse so when people see their pictures within a photo and people say they look obese .then they can reply by saying "okay the camera adds 10 pounds"
