Hair Models

[Big Mike]

Here are some photos from a shoot for a high end hair salon. I've been sitting on these for a while, waiting for them to be released. They didn't want their secret hair styles to get out too soon. These versions are not cropped as hair competition images...just how I felt like I wanted to crop them.

I collaborated with Speedtrap for this shoot, I'm sure he will have some images to show off as well.

[rubbertree]

ha! That was trippy. I just saw Speedtraps pictures, then come see these and I'm like... what the???
collaboration. Nice!
Was this a salon in Edmonton?
I love all the shots. I've worked in a salon and been a hair model so I really appreciate the work you guys have done.

[Big Mike]

Thanks.

These were done for a great hairdresser who works at Ricci, in downtown Edmonton. The owner of the salon was won hairdresser of the year, I think it's two years running.

great shots. The hair styles on the other hand but what do I know about modern hairstyling?

[Big Mike]

If anyone is interested, I made up this lighting diagram. It wasn't exactly like this for every shot, but it's typical.

Mike... very nicely done.

You gotta be feeling pretty good about this one. Sorry... I can't offer any critique. I think everything was handled well.

Thanks Pete. The hardest part has been sitting on these for so long. I think this shoot was in June of last year and the client didn't want them public until this week.

FANTASTIC use of soft lighting with GREAT captures.
Bravo

[Big Mike]

Thank you

[rubbertree]

thanks for the diagram, I love to see how people set up their lighting. Being a complete noob to lighting, it sure helps to see it!
And for those out there that are confused by the hairstyles, yes, this is what hair is all about!

All round good job. Client must be happy. Thanks for sharing your lighting layout as well.

awesome shots what programs do you use to make these light set ups i have seen before... thanks

[Big Mike]

The lighting set up was made in Photoshop. The 'template' is a Photoshop file with dozens of layers for the equipment you might use.

Awesome Nice and sharp, lighting looks fab. I like really crisp studio shots where I can see the detail of the irises.

I really like the 3rd and especially the 7th.
