According to Marilyn vos Savant (I believe her name is) of Parade paper, your image in the photos are largely determined by the lighting, the reversion, as well as many other camera factors. These factors also make your photographed image "less real". Does anyone know what these "other camer factors" are?
Professional photographers know these camera factors including the liighting and light their subjects to the best of their advantage. But, how come many school photographers don't seem to know how to do their job right according to many students' reactions to their photos?

It is not the photographers fault. The images are probably a very good likeness of the people in question. The problem is that most people, especially young people, think they look better than they actually do. They are used to looking at themselves in a mirror, and in a mirror, you tend to view yourself in the most flattering pose. You don’t typically make yourself have a double chin in the mirror...no, you tighten your muscles, an tilt your head so that you think you look good.

Photos of people done professionally hardly resemble their real-life selves, so they see their own picture as unfamiliar. That's what happens when you use artificial lighting and shadows and airbrushing. If you're talking about people looking years back at their photos, that could just be a fashion thing. Times always change, so you will most likely always be ashamed of a photo of yourself when you look at it 20 years later.

well, Maynard_J...almost gave the answer but I have to add something to it:
the left side and the right side of faces are not completely analog and every body is used to see their face, horizontally flipped in the mirror every single day( left side on right, right side on left ) so usually nobody likes his/her picture. but if you add some effects to your pictures like wind into the hair or posing glamorous, you may like the pictures more because those are not images that you see of yourself every day in the mirror.
