Baldscape
A baldscape is a form of selfie in which a portion of a bald head is seen in the picture.[1]
The practice of baldscaping evolved from bad selfies, and has spread on the internet, becoming a new trend on social media.
History and usage[edit]
The term baldscape came into use after an image taken by Nick Marr, marketing officer for a real estate company, in which his face was cut off, and only the back of his shaven head appeared. Marr soon realized the potential of such type of photography, and the artistic component involved. In baldscape pictures, an increased amount of landscape is visible, hence, Marr dubbed the practice "baldscaping".[2] Going with the idea, Marr started taking baldscapes on various different locations worldwide, depicting famous monuments and landmarks.
In social media[edit]
Baldscaping has become popular on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.[3]
