I used to go to a pub after my shopping on a Sat with my hubby years ago and wondered how I always felt good in this certain pub...it was the pinkish bronze mirrors..with subdued soft lighting..... and they had a full length mirror that made everyone look tall and slim hahaha.. it was great for the ego and more clubs.pubs and shops should do the same..

Do we really look how we look under fluorescent lights?




No. Your natural look is how you appear in the sun.


(Thank God! )

Yep. And I didn't read all the responses but Seinfeld addressed this, too (apologies if someone beat me to it)...

He wears a hood while taking his DL photo?

LOL. No.

But the DL halograph always ran across his neck, making it look like he had a neck tattoo also.

Are fluorescent lights the devil's doing- a cruel trick, or a reality check?
I divorced my wife after seeing her in a fluorescent light!!!

I'm the only person who likes it? I'm almost in Lloyd Cole territory, and more pale I like for some reason.

LOL. My DL pics look great too. Now my visa picture is so very awful, I pull it out to scare people and they are shocked too. Hard to believe lighting can be so effective.

That Seinfeld clip showed the phenomena first-hand---

There is no reality. Just lighting. Pick a light source and how you look is based on that light source.

I consider "how you really look" to be how you look in full sunlight under cloudless blue or partly cloudy skies. That to me is the most natural lighting and is what people looked like for millenia before the invention of the light bulb, even before the discovery of how to make fire.

So full sunlight is how I think we "really" look. Just MHO.

Flourescent lighting isn't even a "thing". Do you mean bright or dim, cool or hot? It varies all over the place.

It's a shame that some of the best lighting for pictures happens to be in your car.
