A photographer has shared a neat trick that gives photos a soft focus look: putting her own hair over the camera lens.

Back in August 2015, musicians Tom Hughes and Anna Silver had their heads shaved to raise money to support cancer patients. They then had the idea of turning photos of their hair growing back into the creative and trippy music video above, titled "The Changing Man" by Colonel Dax.

Accurately selecting a subject's hair is not an easy task; a bit of frizz is enough to make a photographer pull their own hair out. But have no fear, there's an advanced Photoshop tutorial for that.

Here’s a short and simple 45-second video tutorial by UK glamour photographer Markp, …

I have this project I’ve been working on for a few weeks now. It is a conceptual portrait commission for one of my clients. The goal of the image is to create something with the feeling of “The Dutch Masters” -- something with a painterly feel, but not necessarily with visible paint strokes.

I finally got the image to a point where I was ready for some feedback, so I uploaded the image to get some critiques from my artistic tribe.

It seems as though each decade is defined by a handful of trends, fashion and otherwise, that permanently seal …

Michael Woloszynowicz of Vibrant Shot is back with another share-worthy and thorough tutorial, and this time he's showing you how to fix some of the hair and skin issues that tend to crop up in portraiture.

This woman’s selfie game is on fire... literally. While out with friends, the young lady in the video was anxious to get herself into the frame of an arm's-length video when she leaned a bit too far and got more than she bargained for.

When it comes to masking out and/or selecting hair in an image, be it to remove a background or selectively style it, it’s never an easy task. Even with the most tamed of manes, it can be a pain, but thanks to this "Advance Hair Selection Tutorial" by the Photoshop Training Channel, your life is going to get a lot easier.

You might not know it if you watch too much TV, but there is a great deal of goodness in this human race of ours... and it runs deep. South African portrait photographer Albert Bredenhann discovered this in a big way recently when he was hired to do a photo shoot for a group of friends, one of which had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

That kind of photo shoot is touching in and of itself, but the group took the idea further than that when they all voluntarily shaved their heads ahead of the surprise portrait.

No matter who it is you're photographing or where you're taking their picture, it's almost inevitable that in at least a few shots there will be some stray hairs flying across the photo. Usually, the result is an extra hour or so in post-production trying to get the hairs out one-by-one. Cue infomercial guy saying: "There has to be a better way!"

Here's a whimsical way to start off your weekend. In a followup to a similar video he created a couple of years ago, Peter Simon (better known as Petey Boy) has put together a stop motion film in which his willing model is treated to all manner of hairdo, beard and mustache combinations courtesy of a stylus pen.

To make the point that Garnier Fructis' hair products are great for both women and men, advertising agency Publicis teamed up with photographers Billy & Hells for a series of creative advertising photographs.

Upon first glance, each of the photographs appear to show a tough guy with a massively long beard. However, look a little closer and you'll realize that things are not what they appeared to be.
