Inspiration and motivation are the two distinctive qualities that can drive a person to think differently.And this was what even Anna Halm Schudel would vouch for.The Zurich based photographer was inspired to create this collection of portraits a series of large formatted images that are comprised of thousands of tiny images.Each such tiny image was sized to just 1 square centimeter wide.
At a first glance from a wider angle you may see it as a portrait of say for example Barack Obama.Schudel collected images from the internet and worked the small pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle and matched the tones and colour from the original photograph to make the new look different.On April 19,2012 she created a portrait with 1000 tiny photographs and entered the hall of fame.The unique part in her art is she creates a contrast between the close up and the distant experience.
Making fascinating portraits of Scarlett Johannson and Obama, Schudel has carved a niche for herself in creating and inventing this new form of art of creating a big portrait with thousands of tiny images.The procedure she adopts to do this is very complex as she goes on to digitally master the tiny image to fit in to the general line of the portrait.Each such small images becomes visible to us only when we take a closer look at the portrait.
Anna Halm Schudel possesses a real powerhouse of talent in photography and is credited to come up with such a fresh idea and has given a new dimension to the art of photography.
