Bag and Yarn Heads

Unusual Skin-Free Busts and Facial Studies by Paul Graves

I love these fabulous plastic bag and yarn faces shot by the amazing and surprising photographic artist Paul Graves. We have shown his crazy balloon art before on Trend Hunter, but I had to share his creative scope with a few more great examples of his photographic work.

The way the shades make each of these different colored plastic bags come to life is as surprising as it is wonderfully weird. I love the badass yarn shots as well. Paul Graves clearly masters the editorial style shoots, which has been featured in some of the world’s greatest fashion and lifestyle magazines, such as Another Magazine, SLEEk, TANK, and Vanity Fair.
