64. re face wrinkling

There is a way you can smooth out the wrinkles. Actually there are a couple ways:

One is a circular white light focused on the person when taking the photo or doing a video. A lot of people purchase these lights for themselves if they are doing this type of work.

Second, there is a way to adjust your image when you are doing Zoom meetings. You just go in on your personal adjustments and you'll see the particular function (I can't recall the name, but I have a Zoom meeting Wed., so I'll be checking to see if it's still on). It is amazing how this adjustment takes out all the wrinkles, just like you see on both his face and his wife's.

Re the first method, assuming it's real, they certainly went to a lot of trouble to make Mitch look younger. That in itself is suspicious to me.

Look at yourself on your iPhone with the camera reversed. It can be a pretty ghastly experience. Yet it you wanted to, you could take out all those shadows and look 20 years younger.
