The image slips?

Hello everybody.

I am reading The Emotion of Design by Greg Hoffman.

In that way, Platon’s portraits don’t look like the heavily art-directed, idealized work one usually attributes to professional photographers. Rather, they are meant to appear like Platon shot his subject in a stolen moment, a

brief second where the image slips and the all-too-real person emerges.


I have two questions.

Would you please tell me what they are meant to appear like means?

And what does the writer mean by the image slips? I am learning English and I don't know which of slip's meaning match here.

I really appreciate you for the help ????
