I adore the photography of Cleo Sullivan who has nailed surrealism with images like the cat-shaped hair as well as more traditional styles of shooting.
Her work is recognized around the world and she has published several books, all of which were well received. Personally I love the portrait of the models on the horse and the one where the model is lounging on the back of a cow.
Implications - In an individuality-obsessed society, consumers are constantly looking for ways to set themselves apart from their peers. In this particular example, that effect is achieved through outrageous hairstyles. Corporations can potentially generate a lot of revenue by offering products which satiate consumers' need to stand out from the general population.
