Photographer Irina Werning's 17-Year Project Celebrates Long-Haired Women

This Photographer Captured 61 Portraits Of Women With Extremely Long Hair

Today, we’re presenting a truly unique series of photographs by Irina Werning from Argentina. For 17 years, she has dedicated her work to capturing creative portraits of long-haired women. The project, titled 'Dear Long Hair,' showcases various images of children and adults who share one distinctive feature: extremely long hair.

The author told us more about the genesis of starting the project: 'For indigenous communities, hair is the physical manifestation of our thoughts and an extension of ourselves, and the same is true with the thoughts of Mother Earth like plants growing and rivers flowing in nature. This relationship is based on a profound spiritual connection to Earth that guided indigenous communities to practice reverence, humility, and reciprocity.'
