"Face of Sydney" is a compilation of 1,000s of portraits of individual people, to derive a graphical representative male & female “look” for the 160,000 residents living in Sydney. people were drawn from different neighborhoods, the oldest was 93 & the youngest 2 weeks. participants reflected the diverse or homogenous ethnic origins & age structure of the local population
