The photo of Obama is very odd. The facial features are very clear, but the ears, neck and shoulders are fuzzy. He just has a strange look.

I agree. It was taken with a short depth of field that gives it the “fish eye lens” look, where the center of his face is emphasized, the shoulders/ears de-emphasize. This probably led to some size distortion where the nearest surface, the plane of his face, is slightly increased in size compared with the rest of the photo.

This technique may have been used to try to give Obama an intense look, as if he were leaning into the camera in hopes of faking the ‘air of command’ he never had in real life. His demeanor was always that of someone looking for a coffee table (or presidential desk) to put his feet on while he slouched back, imbibing substances.

The photo was taken by a famous photographer.. Martin someone. He does what is called hyper close??

Thanks, but I’ll keep the “beauty” setting on my own phone hahahaha.
