The Guardian: 'It creates a community': one photographer's intimate portraits of more than 500 redheads. "More than 10 years on, [Keith] Barraclough has photographed more than 500 people for The Redhead Project.

Most of their subjects are found via social media, particularly Instagram, where the project has a strong footprint."
