On the 3rd & 4th November 2008 the Assistant team at The Cutting Corner, co-ordinated by owner Jez Barnett & Salon Trainer Shelley Murphy, took part in creative photographic training sessions.
The idea of the project was to design creative images which would be turned into a collection, and a 2009 calendar, with the help of a fantastically talented Photo-Artist, Hugh Byrne.
Kalli Horn applied the make-up to enhance the look of each model, which would help create a collection feel.
A few weeks earlier, Shelley led the young team in developing the concept of this year's theme - 'Dressed & Distressed'. The idea behind this year's project was to develop the 'hair dressing' skills of the Assistants, taking the setting skills they learn in their training and encouraging them to create a more alternative end product. From our model call we received loads of applications. We met a lot of them and chose 6 fantastic models. Each Assistant then came up with their own ideas, with the only influences from Shelley & Jez being the concept of alternative styling, the explanation of the standard required for photo work and the odd prompt to tighten an angle here and there.
Once the hair and make-up was completed each Assistant got the chance to work with Hugh, learning how to pose their model, create the right lighting and then see their work develop into an image on the computer.
