Most cameras use wide screen lenses, which make things filmed appear wider than they usually are (including people). These lenses are what make people who go to sporting events or appear on game shows say "I thought the Basketball court/the studio was alot smaller!" So the next time you watch a Yankees/Red Sox game or appear on Wheel of Fortune, compare how large the actual place is to how large it is on television. Chances are that its actually smaller than you imagined.

Usually, it is an optical illusion caused by straight-on lighting coming from the photographer's position (the most common use). A photograph is a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional subject, and this type of light has a tendency to "flatten" the subject and reduce the illusion of depth. However, the apparent width does not change, tending to make the subject look bulkier.

There is also a psychological aspect that may come into play at the same time. Even though we may occasionally view ourselves in a mirror (which appears 3-D), we may appear less flattering in the moment a picture is taken because we are more critical of the entire 2 dimensional image of us.
