Increasing each subplot's size and adjusting their width, matplotlib

Question

I have a dataset from sci-kit learn, fetch_lfw_people.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plotting faces
fig, ax = plt.subplots(3,5)
# fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=2)

for enumerate_counter, axi in enumerate(ax.flat):
    axi.imshow(faces.images[enumerate_counter], cmap='bone')
    axi.set(xticks=[], yticks=[],xlabel=faces.target_names[faces.target[enumerate_counter]])

while trying to show images using subplots and labeling each image with proper name, I want to increase the size of each images and also separate them wide enough so that names do not overlap.

I've tried

fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=2)

however this separates images so that names do not overlap however images gets smaller in size.

Anyway I could resolve this issue?

I will give some examples with some sample numbres that may lead you in the right direction:

plt.figure(figsize=(20,10))

OR

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(20, 10))
