All portraits for Tomboy were contructed on the BLKA (Bayerisches Landeskriminalamt - Bavarian federal state criminal investigation bureau) police computer‘s facial-ID program on the basis of the description of photographes of the women by Michaela Melián.
Since this program operates exclusivly with male facial types and features these portraits are only constructed out of male facial components.
