Portraits
Photographs sorted by face detection — images where faces are prominently visible versus those focused on full-body movement.
Face detection was performed via CLIP zero-shot classification: each image was scored against two prompts — "a portrait where one or more faces are clearly visible" and "a photo where no faces are clearly visible" — and classified by whichever scored higher. Of 42 photographs analyzed, 9 were classified as portraits and 33 as non-portraits.
