WTA Mosaics: why shoot’em when you can crop them?

While the ATP replaced their players’ profile pictures with thug shots this week, I went onto the WTA website to check out how the ladies handled their profile photos.

It turns out the WTA team was much more efficient: instead of lining the girls up for their mug shots – therefore expending time, money and resources, they simply cropped out the head of each player from completely random photos.

 

Individually each player looks great. Together, the mosaics disrupt the perfect harmony of my “60s Kodak” theme for blog images.

CAN’T. HANDLE. IT.

Well done WTA, as unharmonized and random as these photos are, at least the girls don’t look like they’re auditioning for the next Prison Break spinoff. Clap clap.
