Studies have consistently shown that the left side of the face not only tends to be more aesthetically pleasing, but displays more emotion than the right. As for the model I chose to use for this assignment, I would agree that this theory, in part, remains true. While the left side of my models face may present more emotion, I would argue that the right side of my models face, contrary to common belief, is more aesthetically pleasing. The reason for this is that the jaw is much more accentuated on his right side creating a sharp and intense- but not particularly emotional-look. In the photograph displaying the left side, his features appear much softer. Interestingly, I tried this again with three other people (including myself) and found that both parts of the theory applied. While this generalization may not apply to everyone (as many do not), I do agree that there is truth behind it.
