Just had the most amazing weekend …
Working on photo shoots that I had planned for a while. I just love it when a plan comes together and runs smoothly. Well as smoothly as an outdoor shoot can be in Scotland in February. My last three outdoor shoots have either been cancelled or been a total nightmare due to the weather, but not these, although models and crew were freezing their butts off.
My first shoot on Saturday was for model Ashleigh Greenwood and her own vision for her shoot; My brief for hair - Ashleigh wanted her own version of the editorial wet hair look.
I captured some back scene shoots for you to have a look at how it all comes together on the day…
7.30am Start – Getting ready for model Ashleigh who was coming to my workshop to get her hair set in rollers.
8.30am - Ashleigh arrives and we get her hair set and dried and set off for Glasgow
10.20am – We arrive outside the hotel and a miracle happens, we get a parking space right outside the hotel in Glasgow City Centre. On a Saturday morning this is a true miracle hahaha I am loving the thistles out side the hotel... So cool eh!

10.30 we meet up with
Make Up Artist - Kimberley Dewar & Photographer – Laura McKinnon and get ourselves set up for some beauty magic . Notice that Ashleigh has a plastic bag over her head of rollers, to keep her hair dry while going from car to hotel, who says modelling is Glam?? Lol

11.00am – Ashleigh in makeup and we start on the styling. First Make-up then I finish off the hair style.
11.30 – Makeup nearly finished some dark and moody eye's …. Time to get those rollers out
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Think Ashleigh is loving this look |
12.00pm – Hair and makeup finished, now time to get ready ?? well not coats and scarfs as you would imagine in this weather .. No … well I will let you see for yourself in the finished images… Oh the poor models….
While getting ready the chat turns to public transport at some point and the things you see while traveling on them, this is a photo of everyone watching the video of a girl eating her own hair ehhhhhhhh…. Lmao The things we talk about?? The things we video???
Even stranger
Have a look at their faces and judge by yourself if they like what they seen? Lol

Meeting up with old friends, Ashleigh meets up with her pal Craig so I thought this was a prefect opportunity for a photo..
12.30pm - That’s us all ready and outside shooting ... Well some of us are, not me too cold … OMG no way lol and what are good pals for… (To help us out) Craig stepped into the cold to help Laura as her assistant and get some light into the situation.
Me and the Make-up artist felt sorry for Craig out there in the cold, so we wrapped him up in Kimberly’s mittens and my bear jacket.

2.30pm - One final quick look and then am off to my other clients for the day .
