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.

you are pretty, we all have our own beauty, don't compare yourself to her. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Natural beauty, no makeup or very little makeup, makes the women look real. She is very pretty.

She would look like an albino without makeup. She is wearing plenty. It's great that you reduce her to her looks, though.

What does this have to do with red hair? Can't see any of her hair, she might as well be a brunette!

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.
