The premise of Satellite portraiture was to capture the image of a person by Satellite. Following five attempts in two continents this image was the first successful result. The current limitations of commercial Satellite photography is such that one pixel equals 60cm x 60cm of physical ground space, therefore a person can only fill two pixels.
