Why camera distance matters
Changing the way you photograph a face can change the impression of its proportions.
Make comparisons deliberate
Use the same device, camera, distance, framing, and light when taking comparison photographs. Keep a note of the setup. A change in the photograph is not necessarily a change in the face.
Use a neutral starting point
For your intake, face the camera at eye level with a neutral expression. Step back far enough to frame your whole face comfortably. Avoid extreme close-ups, wide-angle effects, filters, and portrait reshaping.
Know the limit
A consistent setup reduces variation; it does not create a three-dimensional measurement or certify accuracy. Retake a photo if it does not show the details you want to compare. FaceFluent AI previews and plans do not include human review.
How these measurements are calculated, and what each one cannot tell you:
- Facial width-to-height ratio · no reference band.
- Midface ratio · no reference band.
