Fstoppers.com owner Lee Morris recently decided to shave his 5 month beard while having a little fun. Lee created 8 different "characters" with different lengths of facial hair and then released his unretouched images to the Fstoppers.com. These photographers took these files and pushed them to the max, creating 8 hilarious final images.
Patrick Hall photographed all 8 of these images using 3 Profoto B1 strobes and 3 strip boxes. The background was solid white and was then "cut out" in Photoshop afterwards by each of photographers listed below. To view all of the original images and all of the hilarious entries, visit the Fstoppers General Discussion Group.

Patrick Hall.... C'mon. Its sick tho. Kudos
there are funny entries, though not the case for the chosen
No doubt some of the other entries are funnier. I was trying to chose a group of photos that worked well together as a whole.
wowww, my is number 6 :D
Good stuff! I like number 5 and 6. 5 is funny and 6 looks like a frame from a movie.
Patrick's with the girl in the background it hilarious. Great job everybody.
Wow lucky to be part of the winners! Thanks Lee! Congrats guys, it was a fun challenge, would never say no when it comes to post processing challenge! Now im having a hard time which tutorial to choose lol.
Who could this mystery photographer be? The answer may shock and amaze you in these 15 ways!
Lee are you going to use all these images as your profile pic on Facebook? lol if yes that would be cool!
Hell ya I am
The tittle to this post is very... (i don't know how to best describe it, but i think it refers to idiots?)
The photos and the editing are great!
Haha click baity?
Most definitely not!
This title refers to "this photographer" in here, who everyone knows who you are, in a way that suggest something... i don't get?
Maybe it's my English?
It kind of reminds me the type of posts on facebook from third parties, that tries lure you somewhere...
I don't know, maybe it's just me.
No no, you're right. It's written to appeal to people who don't know what Fstoppers is but may still enjoy it.
Ok, Lee! Thanks for clarifying! Cheers!
It doesn't bother me as click baity, but it is interesting that as a website you now have to write a title that works best for a viewer/reader who is being sent a link rather than a regular visitor of the blog. I read the site a couple times a week so the title struck me as odd as well knowing who you are and seeing many of your other articles here.
