These images are all of back of head portraiture which I think it is an abstract and unique approach to a portrait. Usually it is the facial features and expression that are focused on in a portrait as this can tell us a bit about the person and change the feel of the image altogether, therefore I find that back of head photography sometimes creates a sense of mystery. In a lot of back of head photography I have seen, the head is very in focus while the background is blurred to allow depth to be seen, but also so that the focus of the image is remains on the back of head and not the surroundings. I quite like this take on portraiture as it is unusual and simple but can create a very good image against a range of interesting or contrasting backgrounds.
