To be fair it looks like he lost a lot of weight in the second picture. Or he had surgery idk.

Maybe its just the beard and angle tho

Pretty sure he’s younger in the right. So it’s just he got older.

It could just be the focal length of the camera lens too.

good explanation of focal length and face shape

Yeah the shot on the left looks like it was taken at close range with a wide lens, the shot on the right looks like it was taken with a medium telephoto or whatever

Oooh focal length. I was like “those hair are not 20 mm” for a moment.

It’s important to note that it’s the subject distance that’s the primary factor, not the focal length. The focal length is secondary in that it dictates how far you would be to achieve the given framing. If you shoot the picture at 200 mm from the example and then without moving you shoot again at 20, you’ll have the same perspective, just way smaller subject in the frame; if you then crop in the picture shot at 20, you’ll have the same framing too, just way less pixels.

If you’re half a metre away from the dude’s nose, you’ll be roughly 60 cm away from his ears (20% more distance), but if you’re 5 metres away from his nose, you’ll be 5.10 m away from his ears (only 2% more distance) - and this is what creates the difference in apparent sizes of the facial features relative to one another.

This should go to YSK.

(With @kamen’s explanation from this thread or something like that.)

Almost bought tickets to see CG. Then I heard Glover was also showing and I was confused. Why is a comedian opening for one of the most provocative rappers today? I’ll wait til streaming so I can fast forward an hour til the real show.

Not to kink shame, but they should do that sort of thing in private.
