The inspiration behind this series was VERVE. Vivaciousness, liveliness and animation are captured through a build up of textural elements and form change within the hair designs. Magnitude and movement flow throughout the series with futurist styling and varied model poses.

A collection that speaks volumes about a woman’s individual sense of style and adornment. Posed on a set light box, each model enjoys her own Luminosity and Sensuality from her hair to her wondrous shoes. I have sought to capture the Essence of Hair Fashion across this Eclectic Collection framed by iconic tresses a la Farah Fawcett through windswept lengths to the modernity of a Sassoon-like bob with contrasting hair veil Six images which encompass the hair of our time.

Classic noir draws from the German Film Noir genre of the 1920s and its influence in art and fashion in the years since.

The collection is called “Birds of a Feather” and was inspired by a pastel pink ‘feather’ jacket from the recent Chanel collection for Spring/Summer. The tonality, lightness, dimension and movement of the feathers on the jacket have influenced both the silhouettes and the very strong colour story within this photographic collection. There is a blurring of strength and softness within each look – structure within the shapes and softness from the muted pastel tones that unite the different looks.

I have been in the hairdressing industry for over 17 years, and I’m slowly learning the process it takes to create a collection.
My first collections were always a mash of ideas. Then I would find girls who I thought were pretty enough, and try to bring it all together in front of the camera.
This year I have taken a slightly different approach,a more disciplined approach…
