Women have been sharing photos, each taken seconds apart, to 'prove' how much of a difference angles, lighting and filters make.
Which, y'know... Duh.
As any lad will know, taking a photo of your Mrs before a night on the town is not an easy task. You're not there for just one snap, you're about to become a professional photographer, pal.

The lighting of a room is usually the perpetrator and responsible for the multiple takes, often making her ear lobes look weird, her knees look fat, her toes look too thin, her hip look like Gollum and make her arms look like salmons.
Mummy blogger Constance Hall, from Perth, wanted to show the drastic difference factors like angles and lighting make, and many have joined in.
Constance began the thread by posting two pictures, one taken in a darkly lit room from an unflattering angle, and the second taken in a well-lit room, front on.

Not that this needed but much research, but yes, it is true. Photographs taken from unflattering angles create unflattering photographs - madness.
If you needed anymore 'proof', just ask my dear friend and colleague - and don't be fooled by the pictures, he is beautiful.
Even I am not susceptible to the dreaded unpredictability that are angles, they make me look a right munter - and my mum reassures me daily that I am handsome*.
The overriding point is that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. What might appear as an ugly duckling may actually be a beautiful swan (me in the above pictures**), or a swan may actually be an ugly duckling.

In my opinion, if you've got more than one chin, it's just another feature to flaunt. Be proud.
