Don’t mistake these photographs for the criminal mugshots. Rather, mugshot means a photograph of the model from their waist up which focuses solely on their facial features. Here are some 20+ images that make the best use of mugshots by making them inspiring and creative at the same time!
Be sure to check the galleries of the photographers out as most of these images are under-rated and deserve all the love and exposure.
