Request for pictures of facial expressions from Asians and Africans

by Anjuli Barber

Dear all, I am currently searching for validated databases, from which I can extract pictures of Asians and Africans. I would need an angry and happy face from every person. The pictures should be coloured and portraits would be nice but not compulsorily necessary as I can crop them myself. In total I would need just 20 pairs while 10 should be male and 10 should be female. These pictures will be used in an experiment with pet dogs at a touchscreen to investigate if they can read and distinguish emotions. Can somebody tell me, where I can get such pictures? Or maybe somebody has such pictures and can help me out? Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers, Anjuli -- M.Sc.
