Hi All,
I'm looking for sources of people's faces. Ideally there would be a set of same face from many angles.
Once source I use is adult pic sets. It's the same person(s) from many different angles. The drawback is that they tend to have a similar look. There is not a lot of diversity, in that source.
I get get a lot of diversity from flickr, but they don't have the same face from many angles. It's usually ones or twos, not a set.

I'm looking for racial diversity,
I'm looking for age diversity,
I'm looking for attractiveness diversity.

Do you all have anything, online or paper, that you use or recommend?
Thanks

Facial Expressions: A Visual Reference for Artists by Mark Simon
Watson Guptill press.
256 pages 3,200 black and white illustrations [photographs].
[Note: I paid $20.00 USA for it in an art supplies store several years back.]


Published in 2005
by Watson-Guptill Publications,
a division of VNU Business Media, Inc.
770 Broadway, New Your, NY 10003,
www.wgpub.com
Library of Congress Control Number 2004116562
ISBN: 0-8230-1671-4


All of that simply to tell you that the art book takes people of different races and both sexes through age progression and different poses [angles] with different expressions and the ages break down as follows:

Ages 20-27
Ages 31-39
Ages 40-47
Ages 50-54
Ages 65-69
Ages 76-78
Ages 83

Included is an anatomical study of the head in different positions with different expressions.

The obvious is posemaniacs. But there's also Morguefile which has a pretty decent selection of stock photos.

Check out the stock photos at deviantart.com-- there's an endless amount of material there, and a variety of looks.

I also like using DAZ|Studio-- you can customize your own expressions and angles. A bit of a learning curve, but after that, you cant beat it. Software and man/woman figures are free, plus you can buy new morphs for different features fairly cheap, I think. I'm looking into working with this more myself.
