500 Photos One Face

While looking through my Stumble Upon feed I came across a photograph of a woman.  A closer look revealed that the picture was not what it seemed to be.  In fact it was not a single person's face but, a collection of 500 photos.

Tiemen Rapati took 500 photographs and counted the RGB* values of each pixel for each portrait.  Then he divided the values by 500 and what he came up with....Is well eerie.  The portrait made it on to the Geeks  are Sexy site and of course he has a link to it on Flicker.

Mr. Rapati recently graduated from the ArtEZ Academy of Arts Arnhem, he has since moved into a role as a designer at United Visual Artists.  His blog www.tiemenrapti.com/blog features his other works of art.  Pretty cool stuff if I do say so myself.

By the way RGB stands for Red Green Blue.  The basic colours that make up the colour white.  But, you probably already knew that.
