What is the most accurate way to view what you really look like?

Yes this is a strange question but it’s something that I’ve always wondered. I hate getting my picture taken becuase I am not fond of how I look in my pictures. When I look in a nice clean mirror I always wish my pictures would turn out the way I view myself in the mirror.

I guess what I’m really asking here is what is the most accurate, detailed way you can really observe yourself the way other people would view you? Is it on a high quality digital camera, video, old analog camera picture or a reflective surface like a mirror? After all we have no other ways (I know of) to actually view ourselves what we really look like. I’ve put this in “social” but I was hoping for at one serious answer. I’ve always wondered this.
