Ty Cole is a New York-based photographer who has done work for household names like MTV, ESPN Magazine and Saatchi & Saatchi. In this particular series, Cole combines hair, half-nude models and high-speed photography. Each model is photographed from the rear while flipping their hair skyward. The movement captured is dynamic and powerful -- which is tough to capture in a still photo.
