Bits of Styling Work

  Last weekend i styled a photoshoot for a hairdresser that i know who is entering a competition. She had to style a cut and colour and do a fully styled photoshoot to fit the theme of 'Androgyny.' We wanted to keep it simple with strait cut shapes and a few bits of softness in there! There wasn't much of a budget so we made do with clothes that i had, pins, and a couple of oversized shirts from Paul (also a hairdresser!)
You cant really see, but in the photo above there is a beautiful long necklace that i got in Totnes market a few days before. Its turquoise and i chose it to go with the copper hair (although you cant really see the copper!)
 I enjoyed styling the outfit in the photo above the most as i got to use some more of my own ideas and creativity...they were a little hesitant at first but once i put it together as i imagined it they liked it, so that was good! I used two shirts and put them on back to front and buttoned at the back, layering the collars and cuffs...
Overall i enjoyed doing the styling, and hopefully next time there will be more time and some sort of budget. I want to get as much styling experience as possible as its an area that im interested in pursuing further. In the next month or two i will be able to get the professional shots which i will then put up on here!
