Water Wigs – Tim Tadder

Every now and then when wandering the internet I find works of artists that I think are genuinely beautiful or inspiring.  I find myself leaving these pages open in my browser for days, unwilling to click to close it down in case I can’t find them ever again (memory like a sieve for things like modern artists’ names).  Often I will download pics of their work and tuck them away in a folder somewhere under the unassuming >Gallery >Art >Photography >Whatever part of my hard drive.  And there they remain… rarely to be seen again.

Sometimes I put them here, where there is a better chance of my unexpectedly running into them again when looking for something.  I recently stumbled over a series of photographs by professional photographer, Tim Tadder, entitled “Water Wigs”.  Tadder has taken a bunch of fierce looking bald guys and dropped water balloons on their heads to awesome effect.  He has created some beautiful and unique images –

I would love to try some high speed water photography like this.  Probably need a decent (and waterproof) studio though… and some willing, formidable looking, bald guys.  Matinski, you wouldn’t mind me throwing water bombs at your head, would you?

Tell me what you think
