ResearchGate Members:
My colleagues and I have been searching for a facial photo database containing lifespan photos (authentic photos of the same person across various ages). We need photos of both men and women, and are especially interested in racial diversity. We are not interested in photos that have been edited to make people "look" older or younger; the photos must be authentic.
We have had limited success so far in our ongoing search. Are any of you aware of a facial photo database that contains lifespan photos?
Thanks,
jsj
Hi! Check out the Face Image Meta-Database (fIMDb): https://cliffordworkman.com/resources/
The fIMDb includes info or estimates on: number of photo sets per source (and numbers of neutral and other sets — e.g., facial emotions), number of subjects per source (with approximate sex distributions), total number of images, approximate number of viewpoints, whether the sources includes photos from more than one ethnicity, whether it includes more than one age group, whether meta-data are available, the photo category (e.g., posed, wild), the reference(s) for the source (e.g. DOIs). I hope this will aid others interested in conducting research on responses to faces.
