Over on the Science Daily website, there's a summary of some research
that looks at facial recognition of a person in pictures and finds that some
people perceive different pictures of the same person as representing two
different people:

I found this particularly interesting because this past semester I had a
picture of a student in my class roster that just did not look like actual
person.  The hair color was the same, shape of the face the same and
so on but the expression in the picture was so different from the person
in class -- the picture has a dour expression which the student doesn't
manifest in class.  I still have difficulty connecting the two.  I've had
similar experience with other students but over time the picture looked
"more" like the person.
