It had been a while since I had done a beauty shoot. I thought is was time to brush up on my beauty lighting skills. A look at Google maps revealed the vintage hair and beauty salon Lipstick, Lashes & Locks is very close to where I live.<\/p>\n

I contacted them and they agreed to a collaboration. I let them figure out the styling and they were quite happy to source models for the shoot as well.<\/p>\n

I had already collaborated with the first model, Moa, in the past, but I hadn\u2019t realised she\u2019d make a good Brigitte Bardot look-alike.<\/p>\n

\"Beauty
Doesn’t she look like Brigitte Bardot with her 1960’s hair style?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beauty
I always take a close up photo for the makeup artist’s portfolio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beauty
I love props. They give the model something to interact with and it can help them relax.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beauty
Next time, I’ll check the sunglasses are free of finger prints. It took me a while to clean them up in Photoshop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beauty
Another advantage of props from my point of view is that it can show potential clients how to promote their products with models.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My favourite of the series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second set-up was another retro 60\u2019s look. Caitlin is an experienced model and it was very easy shooting with her. We got many good photos, and it was difficult to make a selection. A nice problem to have.<\/p>\n

\"Retro
Having the model tilt her head sideways showcases the flower in her hair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My favourite of the series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Retro
I would not typically direct the model to tilt her head this far to one side. But here it works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Retro
Did a few without the coat and with a glass. Once you introduce more than one prop, the possibilities are nearly endless.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, the third set-up was all about hair. We didn\u2019t explore the look as much as the others as it was getting late.<\/p>\n

The salon owner really wanted to have the model play with her hair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
