Part Two of advertising photographer Tim Tadder’s series wherein water balloons are photographed at the point of explosion on or about the heads of bald folk with a Phantom high speed camera. Tim sez:

This time we cast some unique looking women, shaved their heads, (or applied bald caps) and hurled water balloons at their heads, and captured the explosion of water at various intervals. The result a new head of water hair! Our goal was to create a beautifully crafted set of images applying the techniques we learned with our original project and apply it to a futuristic fashion feature. We felt the latex outfits fit with the concept and allowed us to wipe dry after each balloon.

Waddaya mean you never saw part one?

“Looking back, we used to keep lists of men who weren’t safe in taxis, “NST”, and those who were “NSL”, not safe in lifts, they were a bit quicker with their hands than NSTs. I think my best experience was with Charlie Haughey, who was then Ireland’s Minister of Justice. I like to imagine he went to his grave with my bruises on his hands after he tried to grope me during the 1969 Irish elections.”
