Pick-up artists, teachers in the art of seduction and new age “casanovas” of all types met in New Orleans to share in the latest techniques of female seduction. Techniques and methods might differ, but all participants agreed on one thing: facial hair and unique looks are important. Las Vegas based photographer Greg Anderson was on hand to chronicle this famous event…

Ok, ok… how we wish that was the case if just for the sake of funnies… (for those of us who doesn’t know what “tongue in cheek” is – read below):

What’s better event for portrait photographer to attend than National Beard and Moustache Championships, full of characters ready to pose, and what’s better city to have such a championship than New Orleans. Las Vegas based photographer Greg Anderson took opportunity of both and the result is a stunning collection of portraits as if they stepped from the movie set. Some of them beards might not play well with your current employment (especially if you’re working as a pizza delivery boy, or door to door salesman of any sort). I can see many scared housewives at the door… and maybe just a very few seduced ones…
