A headdress is, quite simply, an object worn on the head for decoration.
From plain and simple to complex and intricate, a headdress can come in an array of shapes and sizes, as well as styles (band, covering, mask, hat, hood, etc.).
Practically any material can be used to create a headdress, such as feathers, beads, glitter, fabric, metals, tassels, ribbons, flowers, shells, latex, etc.
A model wearing a headdress can transform an image, allowing a different story to be told or shifting the focus in the image elsewhere.
This beautiful collection of models wearing headdresses has been selected from the work of our talented PurplePort members. We hope their work inspires you to explore using this decorative prop in your photoshoots.
