I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find unique looking women or darker skinned people of any gender! Idk if I just don’t know as many actors in those demographics, or if it’s just harder to break into Hollywood as a weird looking person without also being white and male, but it’s probably some combination of the two.
What’re y’alls suggestions?
I don’t know if this helps you, but in computer science there’s a dataset called CelebA containing huge amounts of celebrity photos, original and cropped, that is used to train various deep learning models.
