Shoot: Hair Wars

Here worse was a concept that I came up actually collaborated with lori lopez that the gal you met earlier from wild orchids, the salon and basically it's my way of collaborating with local hairstylist to create unique looks for their salon and also for me to be able to gain imagery from my portfolio. It's a terrific way if you're looking to be able to boost your business, it's a great way for you to get beautiful pictures on dh and at the same time give them something in return, they get great pictures for their website, which means your name is at the bottom of that on their web site. So it's a really great way to cross promote and not only that is just a whole lot of fun. So basically what we did with thes stylist, and I'm gonna introduce you to a couple of amazing solace from different salons now that have also volunteered their time with us this weekend and the first one that I want to introduce you to his pearl pearl pearl is this our young lady right here and pearl what's along?

Are you with from michael brennan, salon and spa? Awesome, thank you so tell me about the look that you created for jasmine, so we went with the list kind of girl, so what ideas was the one on her? Uh huh. And just kind of teased it out and put a lot of hair spray to help it out in a little bit of shine in it. Awesome. You know what I like? And I hope that you notice is that our models have a variety of different looks. Some of them are really crazy, like a few people that we know over here with ice cream on their head. But not everybody has to be this wild crazed out, you know, I scream, look here. My goal in doing in this kind of experience is to have a variety of different looks because it'll appeal to a variety of different potential clients. And so this is a really great way, tio, to showcase your strength as a photographer and to be able to try to showcase a variety of different kinds of things and let's talk just a little bit about how long have you been a hairstylist? Um, not that long. So you're a young stylists and aren't you? Yes, I am. Oh, my god. Hey, by the way, she just gave me a great idea. You know, you were thinking that we were talking earlier about you know, how you would find hair stylist to collaborate with what about collaborating with somebody who's, an art in hair school in beauty school wouldn't that be a fun thing to do? You know that one of the things I like about working with people that are in hair school is and beauty school dropout I couldn't help but I have to say that beauty school dropout like I say eyes the fact that you know sometimes before you know all the rules you just do all kinds of really cool creative things because you don't know any better and that could actually be a really fun type of cloth of hairstylist to tap into before they learn all of the real rigid rules so this might be a great way to be able to collaborate with somebody without having you know that has a bit more time because if you're in full time here school then you probably have maybe a bit more time than someone who's working in a busy salon so this could actually get you started and then when you have a little bit more experience you could collaborate with some some hair salons in your local community because you'd have some pictures to show them uh of what you had done working with some of the students so that's another way that you could do it so the first model that we're going to work with is our cute little girl right here um uh go have a stand over there my darling and could I get her here silas to come forward okay, reese, I'd like you to tell us a little bit about your model and about your hairstyle that she created for her. I'm reese from changes the line and so, yeah, we made her look like ice cream was a lot of fun. When inspired me is, you know, kids have such a huge imagination, and so we, you know, we always want to grow with that imagination. So, you know, I just started with this story have a little girl that was in a car, and her parents were traveling and trying to keep her still. And so they told her ice cream, grow on trees and like the story behind it, like the bubble gum, ice cream falling on the ground and you could eat it and everything. And so then her imagination grew such bigger to where she started doing hair and taken all those childhood things and bring it into this. I love it. I absolutely love this reshoot a gold star. I'm not saying I love it. This is absolute beautiful. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that so she came from the changes salon in walnut creek. So as you can see, we're really getting a nice variety of young folks to work with. And I have to tell you, I love aries she's really been a just such a big trooper and working with us on this. Okay, so now we have miss lauren. I photographed lawrence wedding like, two months ago, so she is a young bride and she has no personality, just so you know, so we're really gonna have to work hard to get something from her. So let me talk to you just a little bit about what we're going to do. Um, the look that I want for for lauren has to be very animated. Why? Well, hello should want ice cream cone on her head, so we wanted to be a little bit more cartoonish. I want to really let her be a bit more playful. Still there still concepts photographically that we're gonna follow like the light is going to come in from about a forty five degree angle from the side. We're using a simple reflector on the wife's side over here on dh that'll bounce the light softly into the left side of her face, giving me a bit of separation here in here. I might even want to go on the silver side in a second just to give me just a little bit more but the goal being to just to create a nice soft light look at how beautiful the light is on her do you see how it makes your skin glow and actually it's because the sun is actually coming streaming through this window right here it's actually streaming right through but because we're using our beautiful opaque plastic in the window it'll soften that light up and give us a huge huge light source so it's very brief on okay alright missy fu let's have a little bit of fun can I get you have a seat in that chair just plop yourself right on down excellent right there perfect lauren awesome very good let's get one frame out of the cameras we can see what you look like here oh yeah I'm loving it already can you just put your head on that shoulder again like you just did perfect that's beautiful I'll tell you right now you know when I'm photographing lauren this this right now this absolutely will become a brochure for a hair salon it's there's just no question about it could you imagine a stylist getting this little ice cream girl picture in their salon in fact in recent salon that she works and we will make a sixty inch wall portrait of this image I'll sign the print she'll sign the print and it'll say on the photograph it'll have lawrence name at the bottom like a poster and then underneath it will say hair styled by by reese helbert and then it will have the makeup artist's name on it and did you do the make up? Tiffany oh, tiffany, you've got to come here for a second. I gotta introduce tiffany because I didn't realize you were still here. I just told you had a brain fart. This is tiffany bennett she's on facebook and let me tell you, the scale is amazing. Amazing with makeup. She did mine today and you know I don't look this good naturally. So, you know, she's got to be a total artist with a brush. Okay, so, tiffany, how long have you been doing? Make up thirteen years. Awesome. What's your favorite part? Um I just love being able to interact with different people having the different looks being ableto work on different types of sets for something just as creative as this or even just something is natural for a wedding look. Awesome. Very good. What's up, what's the law. Do you work out a time to time? I work out of wild orchids, but the company in which I'm from is makeup in motion. Awesome.

Okay these okay, so I'm gonna have you um this experience is first and foremost a marketing experience because with this kind of collaboration first of all with different kinds of silas artists, hairstylists, makeup artists and the models that you select this gives you an opportunity to create a very fun, interesting environment for not only creativity but more importantly for people to talk about what you do. My goal in working with this kind of subject is to create a body of work imagery that I can then hand off to the style is to say, hey here's, all the fun pictures that we shot now you can use them on your website and more important to me like in my heart is a way for me to create a body of work that I can now use in the future for creating promotional pieces that will go out of my studio. One other thing is the images that we capture here today can also be used for ads for the salon, so I mean, it continues this like the gift that keeps on giving because it's my mean it's a gift to myself because I get to have a creative day and trialled the things that I've always wanted to do it's a great opportunity for the stylist because they get to be really creative and trying new looks that they've always wanted to do the make up artist again get to try some unique things they get two collaborate with the hair silas who maybe they've never worked with before and they get a chance is oh, I like your work and I'll recommend you do you see how this this is like building blocks that's exactly what this is all about it's like you're building your building a body of of continuous referrals and but it's not all for you it's also for the people that you include within that so that everybody it's, it's a win win and when you do something for others and again none of us are paid for this experience when you do something for them for others it cannot help but come back to you because if they enjoy the experience and you give them beautiful imagery you're their hero because first of all they're procrastinators too because you're just like us okay because they're artists and artists are notoriously procrastinators so you take creative day to just play and as you saw with lori she gets in right in there she's not afraid she just gets after and I get it and if I say don't do that she just ignores me anyway so but what happens is that it starts to build now in this very short period of time and really had like fifteen minutes per model it's real hard for you to see the rial collaborative effort that I would normally do many times when we're doing this kind of session recent come up you say hey baby I'm going to switch up the hair a little bit I want to put it up now let's let's pin some flowers in it so that it continues to be a collaborative event that that blooms like a flower and so when we do this kind of this session it's not just a one hour session this may be a whole afternoon that we'll spend doing this mike my recommendation is don't do too much don't have too many models this is about as many as I would want to photograph in one day so that not only does each model get hurt her a pound of flesh, but each hairstylist gets their creative process. The other thing that's cool, too, is that while one hair silas might be going off and changing her look for her model, the other stylists is having pictures done of her model. And then, while when she saw the work of the other salis, it might trigger a creative moment in her mind. Oh, you know what that reminded me of such as such and I want to try this, so I recommend not doing it just with one stiles I liked. I liked that collaborative effort because it's all part of that creative process and the more that you as a photographer expose yourself two creative minds, the better you're going to be what'll happen is like, for instance, with lauren with that crazy ice cream cone on her head sometime in the future, I may be photographing a wedding and something about this session. Maybe it'll be just the color pink. The bridesmaids will have that color. It'll trigger a memory in my mind about this experience which will draw me to a creative pose. Something new for that client and so that's all part of the creative process, so it's like a big circle.
