@hanynits4621 Any picture will look different from how you look in person. With limited characters, let me just say trust me and "mirror flip" your photos. I promise it will make you think your photos look the way you think you look in real life. The truth is there is no truth in how you look. It's all an illusion. In the dark you don't look anything. Light has specific properties that, hopefully, I have spent years screwing with to make people look pretty,

Could you tell me what camera that is please?

@MsEternallyYours Doesn't matter. They are all the same.

What do you Do If Your Arms are Short?

[vichiousfishes]

@Monkeyvillemonkeys Put the camera on a shelf or roof of a car or stack of books or jerry-rig the strap to the rafters and step back. One of the big tips I was trying to get across was to not hold it in your hands at arms length.
