1. An image providing apparatus comprising:
at least one storage device storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
register a plurality of captured images of a user taken at a plurality of locations, respectively, in the at least one storage device, and an action history of the user at each location in the at least one storage device in association with the captured image corresponding to the location;
acquire a first image of the user captured at a specific location;
control face authentication for a face area of the user included in the first image; and
when the face authentication is successful at the specific location and the action history satisfies a first condition,
specify one or more second images including a face area for which a degree of match with the face area of the user included in the first image is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, from among the plurality of captured images;
generate a composite image including the specified one or more second images; and
output the composite image.
