Aya Hirano in Hundreds


336 pictures of Aya Hirano to make one huge Aya Hirano portrait.

I used Photoshop to combine a total of 336 pictures of Aya Hirano to create this 1435x1420 portrait of her. I got this idea after Danny Choo after he post a picture of Aya with short hair and said something about stitching all of her pictures from her blog together. So, I dug up all the pictures of her which I save from her blog to create this potrait. However, it was rather unfortunate that I wasn't able to produce a similar effect to the one which did by an anonymous person to create the George W. Bush portrait [picture below] using the photos of the dead soldiers who were sacrificed in the war in Iraq. The amount of pictures used to create the Bush portrait was in thousands, while I only had 300 plus pictures of Aya. Thus, the combined total of the Aya pictures weren't enough to create a portrait due to the low amount of pixel (one picture represent one pixel). Therefore, I took another picture of Aya, enlarged the picture and assimilated it with the rest of the smaller pictures in order to produce the final product seen above. Okay, maybe now it is 337 pictures rather 336. My mistake.

Aya Portrait = 336 pixels VS Bush Portrait = +- 2000 pixels
