The Left Side

According to lifehacker.com there was a study published this year in Experimental Brain Research which suggests that your better more photogenic side is most likely the left one. Here's what the Experimental Brain article had to say:

"Our results suggest that posers' left cheeks tend to exhibit a greater intensity of emotion, which observers find more aesthetically pleasing. Our findings provide support for a number of concepts – the notions of lateralized emotion and right hemispheric dominance with the right side of the brain controlling the left side of the face during emotional expression."

Hadley's left side
Why is this of interest? I began to notice that Hadley turns her chin to the right and looks off into space for just about every photo I take of her. Eventually this got me curious...
