Capella | Hair Fashion Shoot
Last Sunday was a very new experience for me. I was commissioned to shoot for a hair salon in Frimley called Capella. They are having a complete rebrand along with a new website, and so needed some imagery for that very purpose.
So, on Sunday, eight of us (two models, three stylists, two assistants and I) trundled along to a photography studio in Surrey for the shoot.
This was the first time for me shooting in a studio on commission, and so I was pretty nervous at the thought.
Studio photography is a whole different monster to my usual style of naturally lit wedding and family photography, and whilst I’d had a little play earlier in the week, nothing could have prepared me for Sunday’s shoot.
The great thing about Fashion Photography is that you can pretty much do what you want and nobody can tell you that it’s wrong – it’s all about your own interpretation, and if people like it I guess that’s great!
Anyhow, on to the shoot. The girls from Capella had spent some time thinking up some hairstyles and outfits for our lovely models, and so the rest was down to me. I’d spent some time of my own thinking about how I wanted to approach the day and just went with it, to see what happened.
My faves from the shoot are here:
Yep, those are 100s and 1000s!
Rather looking forward to the next studio visit now !
Really great images matt !
Absolutely fabulous!
Nice set of images, love the wink in #7 and the cheeky last one (well spotted). Wait until you get to play with a rin flash for fashion work!
They came out really well Matt, worth spending a day coooped up in a room with a load of ladies, must have been tought to light the hair and get such clarity on the faces too, nice work!
Amazing pictures Matt.
Hi Matt, nice lighting! Still life too! Nice stuff!
Studio shoots are good fun arn’t they! Looks like you had a good time with it, well done. Great models too.
