Gray Space

December is always busy time for me with lots of up-do and hair extensions for Christmas and New Year parties, so I wouldn’t normally be doing any photo shoots at that time especially on a Saturday a couple of weeks before Christmas.

Photographer Duncan Holmes had been looking for a stylist for his Grey Space photo shoot. Everything was set, the date, models Hazel Martin and Ashleigh Greenwood, the clothes from Ten30.co.uk and MUA Cat Gatenby. Duncan had a definite idea in mind for the hair and after connecting to his image I rearranged my morning to work on the shoot.

I Love going back into Glasgow City Centre especially at Christmas time, there is a real buzz you don’t get in a shopping centre. An early morning start having to fight my way through the Christmas shoppers getting to Contrast Studio in Queen Street.

Hazel giving us some Christmas cheer with her brill jumper, she has already got her make up done by Makeup Artist Cat Gatenby. We had to give her a bit of a structure to get a lot of height for Hazels look.

A couple of hours later we were ready at last …. Some great images 

Emulate This ...

The client this time, new online fitness magazine ‘Emulate’. Emulate magazine release date is 1st Jan 2012 - Here is a bit about them;
 

Definition of EMULATE : to match or surpass (a person or achievement) Welcome to Emulate, we are a quarterly online free subscription magazine. The team behind Emulate are very visually aware so the contents of the magazine... is visually promoted which means we really love great photography and with our features we want to show it in Emulate. The magazine will include interviews with sports men and women whom we think you’ll find interesting or have a story to tell. Lifestyle and fitness will also be big topics with a wide range of subjects. We will also have photo features of events but from the start we don’t do football, we cover sports and fitness that are on the fringe or just don’t get media coverage. The second side to Emulate is its modelling photography and features where we hope to give you a look into the industry from make-up artists, hair dressers and photographers.

Jade's hair & Stephanie starts her magic

Back with the GLS Team – On one of the wettest nights, we all met to work some magic on the gorgeous Jade Leigh Hunt. Our brief was, keep it natural but also a strong look. Working with the GLS Team again was just great, George, Lesley and Stephanie, we work so well together and always have a relaxed and good laugh at our shoots, all working our own talents but also working as team when needed to bring the best images for the client.

Jade just getting a few final touches from Stephanie, who works at Peach & Paint have a look on her blog for more of her work and prices with great beauty packages for all those seasonal parties we will be attending.
