Rounding up a group of bald guys and throwing water balloons at their head, one photographer has managed to create the illusion that the follicly challenged men have wigs made of water.
Gathering together a group of 'awesome bald men', respected photographer Tim Tadder hurled water balloons at their shiny heads and caught the resulting explosion at various intervals using ultra-high speed photography.
Using inventive lighting during the hilarious shoot to colour the watery 'wig' shapes, Tadder used a laser and a sound trigger on his camera to make sure the right moment for each bald man was photographed to give the best head of hair possible.
Creating more than a dozen images with names such as 'The Burning Man' and 'The Conquistador', Tadder is a veteran of the advertising world having created iconic images for Budweiser, Adidas, and Gatorade.
'We chose to work with triads of colors to create images that are arresting and amusing at the same time. We feel the color helps transform the water into some more and adds greater visual interest,' said Tadder of his work which was released today.
Describing the concept as 'simple', Tadder's awesome bald men also manage to pull off some amusing looks to go with their new watery wigs.
'Our favorites are 'The Don King,' 'The Conquistador,' 'The Jesus' and 'The Friar,' said Tadder.
Calling his 'Water Wigs' series 'a further exploration into water weirdness', Tadder's work is all the more hilarious considering the bald men are having water balloons hurled at them as they pull off their stupid looks.
Together with his team, Tadder produced more than a dozen watery wigs and Tadder, who describes himself as a 'visual communicator', has released the images onto the Internet for everyone to share in their strange beauty.
