When editing this, I also had to make sure that the other details such as the clothing, background, and hair were consistent, which I did by using the &#8220;Quick Mask Mode&#8221; tool. By carefully drawing around my face with this tool, I was able to keep the face&#8217;s mirrored effect while reverting everything else back to normal. This did unfortunately create some inconsistent shadows, but I think it&#8217;s pretty hard to notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these photographs did take a while to edit, I still had fun with them! I might make more in the future. (If I do, I&#8217;ll post them <a href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/gallery\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"beforeAfter\">\n\t<div id=\"portrait2\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img2020before\" src=\"\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/symFaceLeft.jpg\" alt=\"Symmetrical Right\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img2020after\" src=\"\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/symFaceRight.jpg\" alt=\"Symmetrical Left\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"Symmetrical Face BTS\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303-540x304.jpg 540w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot-2026-09-13-231303.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Facial Symmetry Behind the Scenes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by this article, I created a portrait of myself (the middle photograph), and, with Adobe Photoshop, I made two&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/facial-symmetry\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-composition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1690"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1775,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1690\/revisions\/1775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~DariusM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
