A corresponding explosion in digital images has accompanied the rapid adoption of mobile technology around the world. People and their activities are routinely captured in digital image and video files. By their very nature, these images and videos often portray social and professional connections. Individuals in the same picture are often connected in some meaningful way. Our research seeks to identify and model social connections found in images using modern face detection technology and social network analysis. The proposed methods are then demonstrated on the public image repository associated with the 2022 Emmy's Award Presentation.
