Likeness Explanations

True Likeness:

This photograph represents a true likeness because the external features are a similar match to the physical features of Obama in reality. Not only are the features in the photo life-like, but they allow viewers to look at the photo and see an individual with a recognizable face. There are no abnormal looking physical features that are out of proportion or are inaccurate. Together, the facial features in this photo reflect that of a true representation to Barack Obama. As an outside viewer, we can recognize the person in the photograph as accurate and realistic portrayal and “true likeness” of Obama.

Not a True Likeness:


This photograph does not represent a true likeness of Barack Obama for a plethora of reasons. First of all, his external physical features are not realistic by any means. The color of his skin for example is pink and green when it should be the colors that represent the skin tone of an African American individual. The abstract shapes and outline of his face also speaks for itself in saying that no human looks like that. Even the proportions and overall shape of his face are inaccurate and do resemble the features of Barack Obama. When looking closely at this photo, the viewer may even see this photo as straying away from human characteristics. A photo is supposed to be a duplicate of someone, however this photo is inaccurate. The details of this photo also do not portray an accurate representation of Obama in real life.
