Now here’s a photo finish you’ve never seen before!
Australian lensman Julian Wolkenstein came up with this hair-raising idea to make horses the mane attraction of an oddball photo shoot.
Wolkenstein, an advertising fotog, said he and a friend joked one day about grooming horses with big hair.
The proposed horseplay became reality when Wolkenstein hooked up with hairstylist Acacio da Silva, who helped fit these fillies with silly hair extensions.
“The idea came from a talk with a friend who said, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to shoot horses with big hair?’ ” Wolkenstein, 36, told The Mirror newspaper in London. “It is important to do personal projects just for fun, to make you smile.”
It was no trot in the park for Wolkenstein to get these horses to pose in their Bo Derek-, 1950s Peggy Sue- and Goldilocks-like hairdos.
“Each horse took four hours to groom, with hair extensions,” and “took a full day to shoot,” Wolkenstein said.
