Wow! What an amazing video, thanks for sharing it. Amazing how similar the faces seemed to be.

That film is FABULOUS! Mesmerising! I read an article about what is meant to make a face beautiful, and apparently is the ratios between the nose eyes and mouth, and that came across very strongly in the portraits, they all seemed to have similar distances between their noses and mouths, and noses and eyes, even if their faces were thin or round. Fascinating, thank you for this Claire! Love Vanessa xxx
