Photographer Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) began photographing redheads in 1978 against the contrasting blue backdrop of Cape Cod. The portraits from this period are collected in this new edition of Meyerowitz's 1991 photobook Redheads, featuring 16 additional images. After running an ad in the Provincetown Advocate, Meyerowitz began collecting the experiences of people who grew up with red hair, in addition to photographing them. Making up only two or three percent of the world's population, their stories of schoolyard bullying and self-acceptance illustrate a broader

narrative of growth and beauty.

Despite cultural and racial distinctions between redheads, the phenotypic association between the subjects brings a sense of familiality to the collection of portraits. Meyerowitz describes how red hair and its reaction to light evokes a sense of the color film process. He is known for his transition to color film during a period of resistance to color photography. “My way of making portraits is not by getting down on my hands and knees, nor climbing high on a ladder, nor getting into bed with a celebrity,” Meyerowitz writes, “but simply standing eye to eye with anyone who has found their way to me, young or old. I need only one or two sheets of film and the patience to see it through.” This hardcover edition includes previously unseen portraits.

摄影师乔尔·迈耶罗维茨（Joel Meyerowitz，生于1938年）于1978年开始在科德角对比强烈的蓝色背景下拍摄红头发的人。这一时期的肖像收集在迈耶罗维茨1991年摄影集《红发》的新版本中，其中包括16张额外的图片。迈耶罗维茨在《普罗旺斯镇倡导者》上刊登了一则广告后，开始收集红发人的成长经历，并为他们拍照。他们只占世界人口的2%或3%，他们校园欺凌和自我接纳的故事，展示了一个更广泛的成长和美丽的叙述。

尽管红头发的人在文化和种族上存在差异，但他们之间的表型关联给这组肖像画带来了一种家庭感。迈耶罗维茨指出，红发及其对光的反应，有种经过彩色胶片处理的感觉。在拒绝彩色摄影时期，迈耶罗维茨因支持彩色胶片而闻名。梅耶罗维茨写道，“我拍摄肖像的方式不是跪着，也不是爬到梯子上，更不是在床上，而是简单地和他们对视，不管是年轻人还是老人。我只需要一两张胶片和看完的耐心”。该版本包括以前未见过的肖像照。
