When an ostrich is in danger, it will hide its head in the sand. What it probably doesn't realise is that apart from looking like a bit of a spaz, it also does very little to help the situation. A lion isn't exactly going to lose sight of them, unless they think that they are just an ostrich-shaped tree.
The subjects featured in Audrey Corregan's most recent photographic series
John clearly haven't realised this either. Each of the eleven images features somebody in a vain attempt to try and hide their face. Some like using other people's hair as a guise, while others try to trick us with records featuring other peoples' faces. Perhaps the sneakiest method is squishing yourself between a bed and a hard place - although it would have worked much better if they weren't wearing a fluorescent yellow parka.
The French photographer is beginning to be known for her faceless work. Corregan won the 2008 Hyères Festival International Award for a series not-so-obviously called
Obviously – a series of portraits of owls... from behind. Maybe all of her models wake up zitty or with their feathers ruffled on shoot day? Or perhaps they're just really
really camera shy.

PS: Girls, if you want a bit a perve, I’ve added a few images from her earlier
Sailors series at the end of the gallery. Think tattooed, sometimes shirtless alternative looking guys in grayscale.
And you can see their brooding faces. Prepare to be commandeered.
