THE EVENT
The appearance of a face in a photograph can change drastically from one picture to another. While there are many reasons for this phenomenon, perspective distortion is arguably the least intuitive.
This seminar provides an in-depth explanation of perspective distortion and its effect on the morphology of the human face. You can also learn about what kind of photographs are affected by perspective distortion and, finally, whether some forms of photo editing can help or harm facial comparison.
