Why can your face look different in a mirror compared with a photograph?

The question of what is more accurate mirror or camera depends on how your image is viewed and captured. If you're talking about viewing it, then the mirror is more accurate because it can only be viewed by someone who operates it. A camera captures your image at a specific angle and distance, and lens distortion, lighting and camera processing can alter the way facial features look in a photograph, says Visuals Clipping . A camera at eye level, a reasonable distance away, with soft, even lighting, will result in a more natural looking picture.
