Everybody’s Portrait – An impossible* attempt to do a photo portrait of every living human

 

Every portrait shares one format: a medium close-up of head and shoulders, captioned with year, city, country, and the portrait’s number against the total population (e.g. 321/~8.334.001.112). I ask everybody the same: to look into the camera and “be themselves”.

See the portraits here: everybodysportrait.net

Send a mail if you want to participate. I need you, too. Every participant receives a free digital copy of their portrait for them to use however they wish.

*) The current global population is just above 8.3 billion, growing by about 190.000 daily. 50 years of ten portraits every single day would amount to 182.500 portraits, just short of a single day’s population increase.
