A photographer has transformed women with alopecia into stunning sirens - showing that bald is beautiful. The models bravely removed their wigs and embraced their hairlessness to pose for the seductive snaps to raise awareness for the condition. Talented photographer, Chrissy Sparks, 35, from Birmingham, has photographed thousands of women, of all shapes and sizes, since opening DollHouse Photography five years ago. Chrissy says: “My stylist Nav Soroya and I wanted to show how women can look glamorous without fitting the typical beauty stereotype you tend to see in the media - and we wanted to support the unconventional beauty standards."
