Shanice. That is the name of the model who helped me with my hair shoot the other weekend. Thought I'd put another pic up that I took on my 'prep' day with her. I found her when she was doing work experience at my work, great huh?

Hair shoot part III : the finished product
I did my first hair and make-up photo shoot at the weekend in Brighton! ...and I loved every minute of it. Ok, so what was meant to be a Helena Christensen and Indian inspired dream turned out to be more of a carefully prepared two or three hairstyles that then again, turned out to be more of an experimental shoot. Doesn't matter. What I've learnt just doing this one shoot is so valuable for me that I'd like to share it with you. So, in my next post I'm going to do a top 10 list of do's and don'ts for budding hair and makeup artists that would like to organise a creative shoot. Check out the barnets. I can't wait to do my next one and am even thinking of doing a professional make-up course. ......Anyone got Bobbi Brown's number? That's the make-up brand, not the eighties pop singer.

Hair shoot part II : Helena Christensen
After tearing out tons of pictures from glossy fashion mags I've finally decided on the theme for my shoot. Ok, well not a theme as such more like the inspiration behind a theme which I've not yet nailed down. I've long been a fan of the beautiful, one of the original supermodels Helena Christensen and admire everything about her career and style to date. And its her style that is inspiring; the gorgeous dresses-over-trousers look, the luxury patterned materials, the shimmery bold fuschia pinks and turquoises against tanned skin, the long dark hair and greeny-blue eyes. Its kinda ethnic, Indian, colourful, and just plain lovely.
