    Whatever Best Buy used as a filter to enlarge her eyes creeps me out. At least the Game Stop version looks like an actual person

      Look at the size of her face overall on the left, and the size on the right. Now look at where her eyebrows are on the left and where they are on the right. The camera on the left is slightly closer, her makeup is different, and her eyes are open wider. I don’t think it’s a filter.

      All of her facial features are a bit bigger on the left, like her nose. I wonder if it’s a focal length thing like this dude?

        Can’t tell if it is for the ad-girl. But I have to mention, that - ACKSHUALLY - this is not happening because of the focal length, but because of perspective, i.e. the distance between camera and subject.

        In order to achieve the same framing on a subject, like the dude in that GIF did, with different focal lenghts, you have to adjust how far away you stand.

        So for practical purposes, especially for portrait photography the focal length kinda forces you to do that, but it’s not the cause of perspective distortion.

        You could achieve the same effect, by taking the sameish picture with a wide angle lens and moving away from the subject with each shot and then cropping the foto to get the framing/field of view to fit the first pic in sequence. Of course you lose resolution and image quality that way, so it’s not recommended.
