Photo shoots don't have to cost the earth.

Are you one of those hairdressers who thinks that hairdressing shoots are too expensive for you to consider?

If so, Michael Barnes had some great news for you at the Kings of Avant Garde Power Night when he told an audience member: "You don't need to spend a fortune because you can always come to a common agreement.

"If I wanted to do a shoot I would go to a local art school or look on a website like Model Mayhem because there are always going to be people looking to build a portfolio."

And Robert Masciave was even more bullish about it, adding: "if you are confident in what you can do then other people are going to want to work with you. Don't be shy about asking - think about what they are getting back in return."
