The "average" Sydneysider |
The South African has travelled the globe for his Face of Tomorrow project, roping in locals from Sydney to London to take pictures.
Mike creates his final "average" face by photographing the first 100 people who concur to sit for his project in each city. He then takes the last images and combines them digitally to make a new face.

In Sydney, Mike snapped people from Bondi and Sydney University, meaning
the concluding "Sydney face" is not completely representative of
Sydney's melting pot.
Mike said while Sydney had one of the most multicultural populations in
the world, with 35 percent of populace born outside Australia, he did
not end up photographing a very varied mix of ethnicities when he went
to Bondi.
Of all the cities Mike, 46, has captured so far, Sydney's average man
and woman stand out as a little bit more good-looking. We therefore must
conclude that his method is completely accurate.
So far his profiles cities counting Sydney, Hong Kong, Amsterdam,
London, Cologne, Beunos Aires, Santiago, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro and
Florence.
