The riot will not be televised!

Welcome to RedheadRiot.com

The riot is a photography project to share great images of special redheads, from all walks of life.

Things at this point are inspired by a site from the 1990s called "Pianoman's Redhead Gallery". It was created and run by a guy named Matt Barstow and I currently plan to stick with a lot of text with a simple link to a photo, just as he did many years ago.

Maybe we will get more exotic in days to come. At least today we don't have to worry about 14.4 modems and a few kilobytes of images filling up our disk space.

I have been focusing on using my own photogrpahy and my own work to develop original redhead content so please enjoy unique, original images of redheads found only on this website.

Think of this site as sort of a blog but from the days before we had the term blog. Think of this as a 1990s blog about redheads. Redhead facts, information, and of course photos.

Simply click on the image you wish to view:
  1. Lucille Ball is perhaps the world's most famous redhead so who else could possibly be the first lady to go onto the list of photos?
  2. Joanna Gleason is my favorite actor and she is a redhead. Get used to seeing her name come up a lot on this list. You can find out more about Joanna on this website.
  3. I spotted this redhead on the street and got her to pose for a photo with a nice reflection.
  4. Another name to get used to on this site: Luca Hollestelle. She is a model based out of Amsterdam. Her beautiful face combined with those freckles gives her the perfect redhead look.
    You can see lots more photos of Luca on her Instagram.
  5. While out looking for trains to photogrpah my wife and I happened upon this redhead who was willing to pose for us. She has some great freckels and a cute nose, too.
  6. My wife has a friend Laura who has excellent red hair. She is shocked to be part of the riot!
  7. I was lucky enough to work with a pretty redhead many years ago who did some modeling for me.
  8. Speaking of me being lucky, my wife is of course a redhead and you may get to see more photos of her as part of this effort. If you are into photography like me you may appreciate the bokeh in that image.
  9. Another model I worked with years ago when I had a studio area setup was this serious redhead.
  10. Here is that same model as above, this time with a tough look.
  11. Speaking of work from many years ago, here is a pretty bride with a cute smile.
  12. I told you to get used to seeing the name Luca around here. I could not resist waiting any longer to post another photo of her.
  13. Here is a throwack / homage to that old Redhead Gallery from nearly 30 years ago. He called this an image of two natural reds.
  14. Another time I was out walking the streets and I saw this heavily freckled redhead on the streets of Pennsylvania one winter.
  15. I photographed this teacher recently and I knew she would be a prefect fit for this page.
  16. One of my ultimate favorite photos I've ever created of a redhead is this stunning redhead wearing a beach hat. Each freckle is a win-win.
  17. In what I hope will become a more frequent type of photo, this image captures a happy redhead operating a forklift. Her freckles and cheekbones remind me a lot of Luca.
  18. Anyone stop in to a cafe lately to see who might be around? This girl was certainly at a cafe recently.
  19. Have you recently flown? Maybe you saw this selfie gal in the window seat.
  20. The redhead's back is especially exciting with her long red hair. It must have taken quite a while to braid all of that hair, but I think she's worth the time.
  21. I think this redhead has a pretty nose. What do you think?
  22. Can you imagine a real life mermaid swimming around in a pool?
  23. Here's an outdoor portrait of a redhead wearing sneakers.
  24. I think this redhead's jacket is a rather unusual fashion choice, but what do I know.
  25. There is little else to say about the profile of a very pretty redhead.
  26. You've surely heard of "Pretty in Pink" but what about this redhead who is pretty with pink.
  27. More to come, like Lilly Cole, Bekka Prewitt, more weddings, more friends, more street photography, more studio work... Stay tuned!

Some interesting facts, to break up the list of redheads.

  1. Only about 2-percent of the world's population are real redheads.
  2. According to a 2010 meta-analysis in the International Journal of Cancer, a fact about redheads is that they are about two and a half times as likely to develop the dangerous skin cancer as people with other hair colors.
  3. They are NOT going extinct.
