that a photograph only captures an instant in that person's day. So,to judge someone's motives or actions based on their expression or body language in a photo is completely unfair. You might say that this person is, "angry" or "violent", for instance, when the camera simply caught them in the middle of a sneeze. Also, many of us are just not photogenic at the best of times.
