Mirror is more prone to exposure effect. Picture taken from far are the best

Yes, lense distortion makes me look narrow but everyone whos seen me knows I am prwide lol

The closest thing to truly seeing yourself is a true mirror, where you see yourself no reflection but what you are without any distortion

True mirror is not realistic too, because your brain over exaggerates the asymmetries. I look like subhuman, when i invert my photos, i cant imagine, how disgustingly asymmetrical my face would look like in a true mirror, tho everyone on this forum tells me i got almost perfectly symmetrical face lol

So the realistic one is the normal mirror or pictures taken from 2.5 meter distance
