10 Years Challenge Photos Game

What is 10 Years Challenge Photos Game?

The "10 Years Challenge" is a social media game in which people post a photo of themselves from ten years ago, alongside a current photo, to show how they have changed over the past decade.

The challenge has been popular on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and has often been used as a way for people to reminisce about the past and celebrate their personal growth.

Some people have used the challenge as an opportunity to highlight their achievements or transformations over the past ten years, while others have used it as a way to show how little they have changed. The challenge has also been used as a way for people to connect with old friends and to share memories.

Why Most People Look Better 10 Years Later?

Most people who have posted their 10 years' challenge photographs have probably seen a big improvement in their looks. Probably, not many people have thought through the causes. There are a number of reasons why people may appear to look better in photos taken ten years apart - (1) the quality of participants, (2) better styling and (3) better photography equipment (hardware and software).

  1. Quality of Participants Many people who have participated in the "10 years challenge" photo game are younger people who have yet to develop wrinkles. The majority of them who dare to post photos are rather confident in their looks.
  2. Styling Styling is an important factor in my portrait photoshoot. The hairstyling, makeup and attires make a big difference and this is why I always try to do proper planning before every shoot. I would go through and select the outfits that suit the theme most and arrange for a professional HMUA (hair and makeup artist) whenever possible.

    What has happened is that when girls mature, especially from their teenage lives, most of them have learnt to do better styling for themselves. Many of them learn how to do at least basic makeup, some discover that pretty eyebrows are extremely important and start trimming them and some go for minor plastic surgery. With higher purchasing power, many of them can afford more interesting clothes and gear for makeup. Eventually, most girls who have played the 10 years challenge "game" are more presentable than 10 years ago.

    However, I always believe in entrusting the job to a professional. In order to get their best looks, engaging a professional makeup artist and hairstylist is important for a shoot or special event.
  3. Equipment Phone cameras have improved a lot in their hardware. Although they don't have the luxury of APS-C or full frame 35mm sensors like DSLR, their image resolution has increased a lot. Each phone brand has also improved its software.

    There are also many free applications that can change faces. The use of the applications can be fast and easy. Some girls would even make their eyes bigger while some like smaller chins.

    Apart from these, people are also used to taking tens of photographs to select the best one.
