In the past, my Research Methods students have used the database of high-quality facial stimuli from the Center for Longevity Studies to study things such as the Other-Race Effect. I currently have a student who is looking for similar high-quality images of full body photos, preferably in the same pose and lighting conditions. Is anyone aware of such a resource? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gerry Gerard T. Barron, Psy.D.
