A daring couple took on the viral pumpkin head TikTok trend and created some impressive Halloween images.
The bizarre craze sees people buying and carving large pumpkins, sticking them on their heads and taking photos in a spooky fashion.
Ryan and Georgia's TikTok
Ryan Covill, 21, of Hempstead and girlfriend Georgia Carpenter, 20, of Lordswood, saw the trend on TikTok mainly in America and thought they would give it a go.
They bought the largest pumpkins they could find from a farm and spent hours carving them so they were light enough to be put safely over their heads.
Ryan said: "It was quite funny. It was a good laugh and good fun.
"It took quite a long time all in all about six or seven hours."
The pair headed to Hempstead Woods to take their snaps and said they got a few strange looks from those walking by.
The aspiring photographer added: "Some dog walkers did not know what to think about it. We were just doing a weird photo shoot for Halloween."
The trending hashtag #pumpkinheadphotoshoot has amassed 54.6 million views and #pumpkinphotoshoot has 16.6 million on the social media app.
Ryan emphasised their shoot was entirely safe and they created the smoke effect by merging three different photos together so they were not wearing the head when the smoke was put through.
You can find the pair's photography pages (GRCphotography) on Instagram and Facebook.
