Step 1 · The portrait (the one big photo)

Which photo of them should the portrait be?

One photo becomes the portrait itself — them, as you’ll see them from across the room. A clear shot of their face works best.

    Not sure which one? Add two or three — I’ll make a free preview from more than one and you choose the one that looks most like them.

    Step 1 of 3

    Sent me a portrait already? The email from me has the link back to it — that link opens your photos, not just the preview. Lost it? Find my link.

    Step 2 · Their photographs (the hundreds inside it)

    Bring them in, one photo at a time.

    Everything else goes inside it. Up close, the portrait turns out to be made of these.

    Fifty is enough to start — more is better, and I’ll say so if I need more. Select them all at once, and add more later whenever you find them — nothing here closes when you send.

    Send them all — blurry, dark, half a dozen of the same afternoon. Each one ends up the size of a fingernail, where blur turns into colour and nobody sees it. Quicker than it sounds: in your photo library search their name, or open their album and tap Select All.

    Your photographs are used to make your portrait and nothing else. I will never show them to anyone without asking you first — what happens to your photographs.

    Tap the heart on the photos you love most — they’ll appear larger in the portrait.

      Their photographs are on your phone?

      Open this same portrait there and add them from the phone. Everything lands in one set — and this page stays exactly as it is.

      A code to scan, or a link to send yourself.

      This link opens your photographs, so send it to yourself and no one else.

      How many photos? 100–300 is the sweet spot

      Anywhere from 100 to 300 is the sweet spot — not a rule, just what makes them look most like themselves. Each one becomes a tile in the mosaic, so a wider spread of moments means fewer repeats and a truer likeness.

      Not only photos of them, either — the trips you took, the places you loved together, the ordinary mornings. If it reminds you of them, it belongs in the portrait.

      Fewer is fine to start — if I need more to do them justice, I’ll simply ask before I begin. Blurry ones and near-duplicates are nothing to worry about: duplicates get removed, and I choose the portrait myself.

      Your photos stay private — seen only by the artist.

      Rather send an album link?

      The uploader above takes as many as you have — a thousand photos is no trouble for it, and uploading them yourself gets you the grid, the hearts and the crops. But if it’s easier to send a link — iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox — paste it here and I’ll gather their photos from it myself.
