Hair Salon Photography for Toni and Guy

Photographing hair for salon shots is quite demanding. You need more lights than usual and more patience than usual. You also need a model that can maintain a pose within the given area dictated by the gridded hair light. So, with that in mind, how far do you think you can get if you are going to do it all in the salon, in a

Location Corporate Portrait

Not all corporate headshots need to be stuffy and boring, particularly if they are to reflect the companies ethics or approachability. One of the quickest ways to erect a barrier between a company and its clients is to have a “stuffy” portrait that doesn’t really give the company a human face, more a guard dog or security look.

Low Key Model Portfolio Shoot

Meet Yas Nawaz  🙂 Fitness instructor and model. I’d met Yas at a previous shoot on New Year’s Eve in Clitheroe, where we had only the briefest of conversations. Yas later got in touch regarding a requirement for some portfolio images. Considering his physique, I felt a low key approach would be best in this instance, although a location shoot is on the cards for

Location Portrait Shoot – Nelson

There seems to be a steady increase in interest regarding location portrait shoot. And I have to say I’m rather pleased with the shift in trend. Studios are great when the subject and intended finished image are what you want from a studio, but I find so many studio shots have a sterile air about them, and don’t bring a lot of the subjects character

Portfolio Shoot for Catherine Boden

I had been asked to provide a portfolio for Catherine Boden of Glamourise, who’s a rather high flying makeup artist and stylist who works in the film industry. She also provides a wedding makeup and styling service to ‘A’ list celebrities and other high level clients. Incidentally, this was also to be the inaugural shoot for the studio. Considering the client, models, subject and target

Waiting for the Train

This was another shoot for Rachel Mason of Dare to be Different, although quite a stark contrast to some of her usual work. Emma wore a business type suit, and the emphasise was to be kept to the colour of her hair. In fact, initial impressions were to be of a business woman waiting for a train, although more details would be revealed on closer

It only takes one!

I’ve already talked about this particular shoot in a previous entry. But this one image grabs my attention every time I see it, no matter what I’m doing. The whole assignment had several challenges on the evening, especially with it taking place in a very busy bar on their busiest night of the week. But the main priority was to get the required image.

The Studio Look

How does this image look to you? I mean, how was it taken? Does it look like a studio shot, low key lighting for a moody feel to it? Well, far from it, actually.

Yet More Daring!

In a follow up to the last post (Dare to be Different), things seem to be moving rather quickly for Rachel and her new company. More models, more creative ideas from Rachel, and more venues. This particular assignment had a few interesting points.

Dare to be Different

A little while ago, I received a phone call from a young lady starting a new business venture. The lady in question is Rachel Mason who I’d met previously whilst photographing a bridal prep session. Rachel is a contemporary hair stylist and makeup artist, with premises in Nelson. However, the new business proposal was as far removed from bridal makeup, as a Ferrari is from
