11 Creative Portraits Without Faces

We returned to our Mashable Photo Challenge Guest Series this week with 24-year-old freelance photographer Chris Cody. Readers were asked to step out of the ordinary, and shoot faceless portraits.

Cody has a very intentional style when creating his portraits: He hides his subjects' faces behind trees and large bushes. For their part, it was interesting to see how readers approached faceless portraits; some followed Cody's lead and found large objects to hide their subjects behind, while others attempted backward portraits and faceless jumpstagrams.

"I was impressed by the creativity in the submissions," he said. "I liked that most people had a completely different adaptation to what a faceless portrait was for them. Very cool to see!"

We've featured Cody's favorite portraits, below. Scroll through them, and check out the rest of the submissions, here.
