The beauty of a red-headed man – in pictures

An exhibition at Sydney’s Deutscher and Hackett Gallery challenges social stigma towards ‘gingers’ by celebrating the modern-day, red-haired male. Shot by the British fashion photographer Thomas Knights, himself a redhead, the 100 models include the Vampire Diaries actor Daniel Newman and the Olympians Greg Rutherford and Race Imboden. Knights says of his work: ‘We have been conditioned to think that ginger men are ugly and weak. I wanted to flip this on its head and present the redhead male as the ultimate alpha male’
