The focal length of the lens distorts the light entering the camera and in turn the photo, a mirror show you your actual reflection
A mirror literally shows you a “mirror image” (left is right) while a photograph doesn’t. Most people see themselves in a mirror a lot more than they do in photographs (selfies don’t count, most front facing cameras show a mirror image) so they get used to seeing themselves mirrored. So, when they do see an actual photograph, it just doesn’t look “right” because it’s not the mirror image they have become used to seeing on a daily basis
first of all camera is inverted, second of all depth perception, if youve tried the zoom face from far vs close up you’ll see the difference based on the perspective!
Angle and lighting matter greatly. Photographers basically build their entire profession around it.
