This Artist Photographs The Long-Haired Women Of Latin America

Argentine photographer Irina Werning (previously featured) has created a unique series of photos. Creative portraits of long-haired women have been her focus for 17 years. The project, “Dear Long Hair,” features children and adults with long hair.
