This is a reflection but also shows depth because you can see the stones in the puddle

There's no depth to that. Take another look. That's 2D my friend, not 3D.

A means of imagery for whatever reason

Phography is expression.

Its capturing the essence of the moment.

Photography is a means of visualizing reflection. This is because a photo image taken by any standard camera only yields a photo image in the 2-dimensional visual perspective, which means that cameras do not present images in 3-dimension, no matter how expensive the camera is.

That said, photography is incapable of yielding a visualization of human perception since human perception is based on seeing depth perception with the human eyes which of course is 3D, but which a photo image is incapable of reproducing.

@swirlie
based on personal experience, pictures can depict feelings, memories, experiences,and all, making you feel a sense of personal connection.

This alone, is a form of perception.
a singular feeling of connection.

@swirlie Here's a selection of stereo cameras. They take images in simultaneous pairs, corresponding to the views of left & right eyes. With proper stereoscopic viewing equipment, you'll see 3D in the photographs.

UPDATE

Alas, Swirliee blocked me for providing too many facts🤣😂

@stvrlightt I certainly agree with you. Some photos can and do talk through the colors and position etc.
