Mirror or Photographs: Which is the Real Me?

If you wonder if the mirror or camera is showing you the real you what you are actually asking is how do other people see me? The fact that mirrors reverse the face and A.R. Luria's discoveries on how we interpret faces neurologically, I show you how to finally see what you do really look like to other people.

My credentials are that I am a senior in clinical psychology, I have experience as a EEG research lab technician, I am an experienced art and freelance marketing photographer and I intend to continue studies in behavioral neuroscience.

Update,
Murray A.J., Macias, J. (2011). Modulation of social pain with cell phones, Unpublished Manuscript, at Eastern Oregon University.
...is currently under review for symposium.

im so confused.. In a mirror I look fine.. When I take pictures.. My face is so slanted and wonky, Liek lips slanted, Nose slanted, One eye is higher.. Face looks like it scares small children... But in mirror it looks fine.. Ive asked my girlfriend/family before n they said I dont look like those pictures.. But I just dont get how the picture looks so drastically horrible.. I took a pic and flipped it n it looks so diffrent.. WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE REALLY?

@DatCoolAfroNinja However you want to. It's all in your head ( and in crappy cameras on auto mode). I can tell you how light and brains work but you know how you feel when you look in the mirror or camera. The sick, fucked up truth is, you look like how you feel. Nothing is more potent in a human brain than other people's emotions. If you feel ugly, the people around you think you are ugly. How other people see us is the real variable in question here.

No this is wrong! What you've done is simply created a mirror image of each separate side of your face, that's not your "true image", because it creates a symmetrical version of your face. You should have put the two separate (flipped) images of each side of your face back together (basically flipping the whole original picture) then you would have got an accurate view of your "true face".

@greekboy2k: Please watch my video 'The True Mirror explained Part 1' ! It's a non-reversed 3D true mirror! (Your 'normal' backwards mirror image is NOT you, actually non-existing, only YOU see yourself that way!) Videos and photos of you are the right way around. Be aware though your 'own video' on the messenger is your mirror image! but the other person sees you the right way! Try by holding writing in front of your webcam...
