Photo cameras can distort how you appear. Most phone cameras have very wide lenses, which will give you a fish eye-like effect if you put it too close to you. It appears fine if you take photos from a distance, though. Around 50 mm lenses would make you appear “normal”, which many phone cameras don’t have. 50mm is what portrait photos are usually shot at.
