Taiwan media ETtoday reported on the 26th that a Taiwanese woman who visited Japan had a photo taken by a local woman, and it turned out to be a big failure.

The article stated that "it's not uncommon for people to ask passersby to take photos when traveling," and then introduced a post from the social media platform Threads. According to the woman who posted, when she visited Dogo Onsen, she spoke to a Japanese woman nearby and asked her to take a photo.

However, the composition of both of the two photos she had taken was severely tilted. The woman actually uploaded the photos and wrote, "The first and second photos were taken for me. Is this serious? They're genuinely tilted (crying)."

The woman initially thought, "Oh well," but later, a feeling of "Why did it turn out like this?" gradually emerged, so she asked the woman who was waiting for confirmation, "It's a bit tilted, could you please take it straight?" to retake the photo. Then, she said the third photo was taken beautifully.

The woman wrote, "It was funny because it made me think, 'So, did she intentionally take the first two photos tilted? (lol)'"

In response to this post, other users commented, "Japanese people's photography skills are mediocre," "Japanese people really have a unique way of taking photos," "Among all the Asians I've met, Japanese people have the highest photo-taking failure rate," "Once, a Japanese man took my photo, and even though I'm 166 cm tall, I looked like I was 150 cm and almost fell over," and "If you ask a Japanese woman, it tends to be wide-angle + tilted photos. But uncles are surprisingly good at it."

On the other hand, highly appreciative comments were also received, such as "This is a Japanese 'emo' photo," "Maybe it was tilted to include the background?" "Maybe she wanted to try a tilted composition. There are ways to take photos like that," "Japanese people emphasize the unity between people and scenery," and "I actually prefer the first two photos; they have more atmosphere. My legs also look longer."

In addition, comments were received such as, "If you ask a Korean or young Taiwanese woman, there are usually fewer misses," "I wonder if the skill in photography is Korean women > Korean men > Taiwanese women > Taiwanese men > Japanese women > Japanese men. It's best to ask a couple; at least they're trained," and "When I asked a Korean woman at Kinrin Lake, she guided me on the direction of light, poses, and even my standing position, took many photos, and praised me constantly, making me feel like a model."
