# Blended Face Photography The Tiemen Rapati Composite Self-Portrait is a Creative Mix of Pics By Regan Canie | Published 2011-11-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiemen-rapati-composite-self-portrait References: [petapixel](http://www.petapixel.com/2011/11/02/composite-self-portrait-made-using-500-photographs-of-one-face/) & [tiemenrapati](http://www.tiemenrapati.com/blog/) If you're looking for a run-of-the-mill [professional picture of yourself](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headshotwork) you may want to try your local department store photo center, but once you see the Tiemen Rapati Composite Self-Portrait, you'll need to start snapping to get this caliber of creative capture. A Flickr user that goes by the username 'clickflashwhirr' decided to take a picture of herself on a daily basis for 4.5 years, after she was inspired by previous [daily face-logger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos) Noah Kalina's 'Everyday' video. Once she did the same and compiled a collection of facial snaps, designer Rapati then turned 500 of those photos into one beautifully blended composite using a technical process that included counting individual picture RGB values. The result of the Tiemen Rapati Composite Self-Portrait is an eerie, but elegant time-frozen frame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Blended Face Photography:** Creating composite portraits by blending multiple facial photos offers a unique and captivating form of self-expression. - **Daily Face-logging:** Documenting one's face and facial expressions on a daily basis can lead to interesting self-reflection and creative opportunities. - **RGB Analysis:** Applying RGB analysis techniques to facial photos enables the creation of visually stunning and technically advanced composite portraits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography and Visual Arts:** The photography and visual arts industry can leverage blended face photography to offer innovative portrait services and unique artistic experiences. - **Social Media and Personal Branding:** Daily face-logging can provide individuals and brands with fresh content for social media platforms, enabling them to enhance their online presence and storytelling capabilities. - **Technological Innovations:** Developing advanced RGB analysis techniques and software can open up new avenues for creative expression and technical applications in various industries such as advertising, entertainment, and healthcare. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Time-Altering Digital Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-machine-feature.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitify-ai-portrait-studio.md) - [Visual Timelapse Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfiestory.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studio Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraius.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remind-ai1.md) - [Instant Headshot Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-headshot.md)
