The inspiration for my first black and
white photo shoot was to experiment with
light and texture with an emphasis on the
head shape and how to morph and play
on it.
This theme of texture was also threaded
through the styling with the use of a
double denim androgynous feel infused
across the collection; this was then
reflected in the hair, complementing it
well.
Using a combination of braiding, jewellery
and paper to create Illuminate, touches
such as leaving regrowth to elicit more
texture within the look and creating a
grunge feel were used.
The inclusion of a haircut and colour
combination really defined the head
shape, and the variation of using paper
and crocheting hair through holes in the
paper, produced an undone messy frizz
to the look.
