i think it depends a lot on how good your camera is. the better it is, the more likely it is to see thin hair (i have a rather bad camera which doesn't really show the extent of my hair loss on any of the pics i make) also the angle + light is important
i also believe it's true that your forehead can generally appear larger in pics than in real life

pictures are often deceiving

FALSE.

It makes no difference what camera it is. It depends on focal length and how far away the lens is from the subject.

well then i must be doing something wrong with my camera because no matter what i try my pictures are always really blurry and bad.
what definitely applies to me though is that on pics my hairloss doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as it is in real life.

Again; focal length and distance from subject. Of course photos are going to look different from real life.

I remember you saying you did this for a career. So basically no one can question the hellmaster on this!

Yes, photography is one of my job requirements (studio and live event). But it's a hobby as well.

Sounds cool. I know someone who covers weddings and makes a bomb. Yeah I get the hobby part. You must get frustrated then seeing the crappy pictures people sometimes put up for hair loss!

I get what Toms is saying. I can look in the mirror and think I look alright, then two minutes later take a bunch of pictures and look like crap in every one. It sucks because I avoid taking pictures for this very reason. Years have gone past since this hair loss **** and I barely have any pictures of myself during that time. It's actually pretty sad.

Yea pictures suck. A friend of mine clicked a pic of my friends and me while we were studying and I had my head down and whole scalp facing the camera. It was hideous! Unfortunately it's already up on FB. Officially the worst pic of all time.
