Photographic prediction # 1: portrait photography size 1:1

(maybe…) the next big thing in portrait photography will be photos and prints that are one-to-one with reality.

Usually we pay greatest attention to faces and ignore the body. But bodies, shapes and sizes matter when you want to get to know people and when you want people to get to know you, – even when you want to get to know yourself.

Your body may be as an important part of your identity as your face.

Imagine a person standing, having his portrait taken, that is of his whole body. If the person is 5 ft. 11 in. / 180 cm in real life, then the print will be the same size. You can measure yourself against the print of your father. Children can measure themselves against prints of themselves as they were younger and smaller, and see how much they have grown. Imagine a series of full size prints of a child as he is growing up, one taken each year on his birthday, the pictures next to each other on a wall showing how he grows from baby to toddler, to young boy, to teenager, to young man, to adult, and so on. Or imagine family portrait in real life size.
