How to Pose for a Photograph

Is it really conveying how someone looks in person when they make themselves look better than they really are through posing? After all, it's not really unheard of to meet someone in person and find out that their photographs are way too flattering...

Isn't that basically how a high proportion of online dating platforms continue to be so popular? Everyone looks lovely online, but in real life, it often becomes clear someone hired a pro to utilize some posing tricks and/or used a bit of Photoshop to "enhance" their beauty. Naturally there are exceptions to this, I just mean in general.

Yes, I'm not disputing that at all. I'm just saying, in response to the parent, this kind of photography isn't really portraying how you look in reality
