*) The current global population is around 8.3 billion, growing by about 187.000 persons daily (UN World Population Prospects 2024). 50 years of ten portraits every single day would amount to 182.500 portraits, just short of a single day’s population increase.
All portraits share the same 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”.
