Which person is real?

[Hermit]

One of these is a real person and the other 3 are photoshopped versions of the same image. If you can identify the real person, please explain how did you figure it out (what led you to that conclusion). You might need above-average observation skills since most people I asked failed to spot the subtle giveaways.

*All of them can potentially be real, but one of them has a significantly higher probability of being real.

plot twist: they are all the same with flipped features

Yes, they are. I guess the question should be: Which one has a significantly higher probability of being a real person?

But the real question is: does it matter?

Number 3 cos other guys look like faggots.

 

[IcemanBo]

I also say #3, but I'm not very sure why.

Not really. I often notice some things that other people don't, so I want to see if anyone else pays attention to seemingly insignificant details.

What do you mean?

I also say #3, but I'm not very sure why.

I'll wait to hear more opinions before revealing the answer.

Obv number one. The other ones looks weird af. Their jaws are not right.

Second... just we need to see the nose and the eyebrows, also we need to see the whole nose. As well as the head.

 

[IcemanBo]

Whooooooo is the real one? Who! Who who, who who.

I was kinda hoping to get more than 6 votes/replies before revealing it (at least 10).

I can't wait!

I can not say which one has a significantly higher probability of being a real person, but I know for sure which of the four portraits is used on numerous web sites.

One of the four portraits in OP is an excerpt from the full picture of a fashion model. But it might have been touched up a little bit too because... you know... fashion.

Sneaky... I should've anticipated someone will do a reversed image search, since I used a random image from google.

That's what techs/geeks do.

The answer
The majority of you guessed right. Either you subconsciously knew the answer, but didn't really know how to explain it or you were sneaky like pyf and did a reversed image search.
Anyhow, the third person has a significantly higher probability of being real (and is real). Here's why:

Hair part
About 95% of men (that have hair long enough to comb on top) part their hair on the left side because that is the side on which their hair naturally parts. The location of a man's natural part is determined by the cowlick, or spiral of hair, at the back of his head. If the cowlick rotates clockwise, the part naturally falls on the left side of the head, and if it rotates counterclockwise, it falls on the right. Although it is rare, some men have two cowlicks, which means their hair naturally parts on either side.

Difference between the two sides of the face
Human faces are obviously not symmetrical. One side is slightly rounder and slightly more expressive than the other. That side of the face generally seems more awake and for about 97% of people it's their left side. That's why most portraits are taken from the left (e.g. Mona Lisa). The trend can also be seen in the poses of pupils in yearbooks.

It's not easy to spot facial asymmetry, but the easiest way is to look at the person's eyebrows, especially if the person is raising their eyebrows or expressing a strong emotion at that moment (happiness or fear). Since the left side of the face is usually a bit more round, the left eyebrow is more arched and higher than the right one.

...which might still be debatable imho, since this portrait comes from a fashion shooting session:

Spoiler: Fearful symmetry? ;D

Well, if I did this with a photo of someone that everybody knows is a real person (e.g.), most people would know the answer without any doubt.
