What about photography? Can i use this to demand the removal of my likeness from meta google etc

No, this legislation is specifically about creating fake replicas. An actual recording of you in a space where you have no expectation of privacy is legal.

But with that said, you already can request meta/Google/etc remove photos of you. Though i have no idea if they actually take action on those requests.

I doubt they delete it.

I believe you can if you are talking about deepfakes.
