Confirmed, fixes the issue

I'm 99% sure it's me noticing flaws because I recognise it's mine but it's very different due to mirroring

Like, damn, my face is slanted as fuck when mirrored...

    Not really, it’s the distance, mirror doubles it. Selfies of most people look horrible, even if flipped, due to the camera’s distortion from the short distance.

    Any time I had professional photos taken for work, the photographer stood at least 3 meters (10 feet) away, maybe even more.

    Aw, does this mean that spy satellites exist to create the sexiest possible pictures of everyone on earth? Thank you Big Brother

    Absolutely, just lay down on a beach or by a pool in a bathing suit posing like Salma Hayek / Jack Black for a while, then just send in a request for your photos to NASA with the timeframe and coordinates.

    They will reduce the resolution a little and do some filtering as to not reveal the exact capabilities of their optics.

    Why would you creep, and not just walk up to them and go "Hey, sorry, I just need to see if you look weird." like a normal person?
