More Portraits!

From the series: Portraits 101

Each of these portraits was created from the first 101 images I found on Google when searching each subject's name. In Photoshop, I converted the individual jpegs to 1% opacity and layered them one upon the other until a kind of abstract and subtle "uber-portrait" emerged. The portraits are time-based since each Google search, done on a certain day, will always yield a unique result. The titles of the works include the date when I accessed the images that comprise each portrait.
