Photographer Travels Around The World To Capture The Incredible Beauty Of Red Hair, Photographs More Than 37 Redheads
While redheads have become synonymous with Ireland and Scotland, American photographer Brian Dowling who now lives in Berlin(Germany), photographed over 130 redheads from 20 different countries for his project “Redhead Beauty”.
Red hair is the rarest hair color in the world and is caused by a gene mutation know as MC1R which affects about 1% of the world population. This gene mutation can also affect a person’s tolerance to pain, sunlight, and their hairs’ ability to gray. Red hair will instead turn blonde or pure white when you age.
Brian started this portrait project which spanned three summers to show the real beauty of red hair and wanted to help break down stereotypes people often have of redheads with his photographs. His art book “Redhead Beauty” is available on Kickstarter.

Do all red heads have long hair??And are they all young ? None that are short hair or older or not so skinny??

I was looking forward to seeing these, now that I have I'm disappointed. They are all thin young woman. I'm a middle aged redhead with 6 red headed sons. I wish the pictures represented a broader range of readheads.

Sadly, Mr. Dowling thinks only females can have red hair and be beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing! I have an adorably stunning red haired son.
Load More Replies...So the photographer trolled through modelling agency photographs for redheads so he could create an "arty" Page Three feature? Lame. Very, very lame.
Why would you expect anything at all? Are you addicted to misery? It's a private project.
Load More Replies...I think the inclusion of some average-looking redheaded people would have been more significant
