Some painters create such realistic and plastic pictures that it is hard to believe that they are not photographs. Alexa Meade does the opposite. Instead of canvas, she herself uses models that she colors with acrylic paints. Their skin is her canvas and the result is extraordinary. Although you may think that these are artistic pictures, they are "just" photographs.

Are redheads the most beautiful women in the world? There are many stereotypes about red-haired women that are not scientifically supported. They are supposed to be temperamental, seductive, smart, polite, passionate, attractive, fun-loving, free-spirited, loyal, stubborn, adventurous, unpredictable, teasing, fiery... Whatever is true or not, men have only one word for them - sexy. The color red means passion, and a man should immediately think of sex when he sees a woman with red hair. American photographer Brian Dowling also explored their beauty and sex appeal, who captured more than 100 redheads from 20 different countries in his lens, and is now publishing their photos in the form of a portrait book.

Have you ever met a butcher? What about a construction worker? Ideas about gender roles are still quite traditional and stereotypical. The classic division of labor is still rooted in our minds. The environment expects women and men to behave in a specific way and perform specific tasks. One of the most persistent notions is certainly that women are better suited for housework and men are better leaders because women are too emotional to make serious business decisions. It is also true that girls do not play with toy cars and boys do not play with Barbies. Photographer Chris Crisman tackled this very 'problem' in his project Women's Work, and his portraits show women in non-traditional roles.

The life of a ballet dancer is not easy. At first glance, a light and graceful dance hides a lot under ballet slippers. Ballet is a garage "sport" that requires strict discipline and a high pain threshold. The seemingly fragile girls (and boys) who impress with their moves on stage are actually some of the toughest people in the world. Some famous names were captured in the privacy of their homes by photographer Damon Dahlen.

The Coca-Cola bottle selfie wants to capture a special moment - when you drink Coca-Cola. In the days of analog cameras, we were very selective in our photography and captured only memorable moments. With the advent of digital photography and selfie mania, this has completely changed. Today, the average teenager takes more toilet selfies than Neil Armstrong took on the moon. Let's get back to special moments. Coca-Cola has always played on our emotions and wants us to associate its carbonated drink with beautiful moments in life. Therefore, the idea of a Coca-Cola bottle selfie in the age of Snapchat seems like a completely logical move and not at all surprising.

People spend a good amount of time in front of the mirror every morning, where we take care of our appearance, which will accompany us throughout the day. Everyone takes care of themselves differently, but one thing, even if we don't even realize it, is common to all of us. During the day, our appearance changes radically, albeit imperceptibly, due to many factors. Don't believe it? Take a selfie right before you leave the bathroom in the morning, and then another before you go to bed. You will be amazed at the difference!

Humans do many things with their faces. We manage them one way or another, but we have limitations. José Cardoso, however, imagined what it would be like if human faces were made of plasticine. And so a bizarre series of photographs was born that pays homage to video artist Chris Cunningham (he worked on films such as Alien and Rubber Johnny) and director David Cronenberg (The Fly, Komopolis, Dangerous Method, Videodrome), who are known for scenes that only those with a good stomach can tolerate them.

Freckles. Once they were ashamed of freckles. Women from the upper class hid from the sun's rays (the sun accentuates facial freckles), since before the 20th century freckles were attributed to the lower class. Today the picture is completely different. Freckles are becoming a real fashion hit, and Brock Elbank's photo series #Freckles draws attention to their beauty.

Every year, in various beauty contests, we can get to know a thousand and one female faces that come from the most remote corner of the world, but these portraits of women are somehow taken out of context, because the girls pose on stage and catwalks, instead of in their natural environment. This was done by a traveler from Romania, Mihaela Noroc, who captured the beauty of women in their cultural environment during her trip around the world, and called her project - Atlas of Beauty - ''The Atlas Of Beauty''.

In Flemish painting, we have to look at portraits realistically, without elevating the personality, so the choice of this format by the French photographer Sache Goldberger, who dressed superheroes, famous villains and other fantasy characters in 16th century clothes, is unusual. Instead of modern materials, there are embroideries from the Baroque-Rococo period with a characteristic pocket square.
