Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why the people (including me) look much wider in my photos than we are in real life I am shooting with a Nikon D3200 in portrait orientation and no matter how close or far away I shoot- people look fat! Is there a remedy for this (other than dropping a few lbs)???

That reminds me of a line from an old "Friends" episode.
"The camera adds 10 pounds". "Really? Just how many cameras were on you?"

That's FUNNY! I hope that someone can offer some advice in this area though. My friends run when my camera comes out to play...

What lens are you using? A wide angle lens causes distortion and the wider the lens, the more distortion.

Use longer lenses and stay further away. Wide angles, esp up close, distort things and the wider and closer the worse.
Or just give in and become an agent for Weight Watchers as a sideline.

Record your own voice and listen to it, that coupled with your fat photo may give you a complex.
