Behind the scenes on an hj hair shoot
Sponsored by Racoon International, the theme was 'you can be whoever you want to be' and each stylist was given their own brief -- afro, colour, avant garde, commercial or glamour.
Held on location in a former pub in Camberwell, London, the team each had their own model to transform and along with the clothes and make-up, each told a separate story.
Mark Leeson
"I really enjoyed working on the shoot with HJ and so many talented hairdressers. I loved that we were each given a different theme and it was excellent to see everyone working together but with no element of competition. It really was inspiring."
Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck
"There was a great atmosphere on the day and to see such a variety of work was really interesting. On a personal level, it was great to be asked to create some avant garde hair."
Nick Malenko
"What a great day! We were all given different themes to present and everyone's work looked fabulous. We had a lot of laughs and plenty of hard work, which resulted in some wonderful looks."
Errol Douglas
"I really enjoyed creating these luxuriant long looks. We had a theme each - mine was wild curls and wondrous hair. The hair looks fantastic, shiny and gives fabulous body and length that really suits the current hot curly looks that are big for summer. What a great shoot to work on!"
Robert Eaton
"I thought the shoot went brilliantly. It was great to see various different looks produced using hair extensions and I enjoyed working with such a creative team."
