From Miami all the way to Seattle, 124people reached out toThe Redhead Project after The Palm Beach Post published an article on the January casting call in Stuart.

Hundreds of redheads from all over the country have been photographed by NYC photographer Keith Barraclough, 55, as part of this project.

Why redheads? Barraclough wanted toexpose the different personalities and styles of natural-born redheads who never get their photos professionally taken. And, in a way, hes letting the models challenge the stereotypes.

Barraclough says the main difference between the redheads in Florida compared to other states is their lifestyle.

Their interests, hobbies and their sunny, laid back Southern style stand out, such as their coastal props birdcage, shells, snorkel equipment, surfing t-shirt, tennis gear and warm weather attire, the photographer told The Palm Beach Post.

Only 11 Floridians had their photographs taken back in January during the 2-day casting call in Stuart, Florida. Why only 11? The turnout was far greater than expected.

More than 110 redheads were left out from the January shoot some who werent even in Florida at the time but they were individually notified via e-mail that they might still have a shot at being featured in this nationwide search.

We will contact everyone we heard from in January, said project manager Kate Lorenz.We are actively working on plans for a return to the Treasure Coast, sometime this summer, ideally.

Dont forget it. Pin it!
