Shooting for F.A.M.E. Team 2014

In February this year I was approached by the Multi-Award Winning Hairdresser and 2013's Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, Bruno Marc Giamattei of Marc Antoni Salons. He wanted me to shoot for the Fellowship's F.A.M.E Team 2014. After the initial briefing it was clear that this was going to be an amazing day!

The chosen four hairdressers for this year's FAME Team were; Leighanne Regan of Kyle Beasley Hairdressing, Simon Tuckwell of Zullo & Holland, Ellenora Dean of Michelle Griffin, and Dafyd Rhys-Thomas of Ken Picton Salons. On the day of the shoot these guys were on fire! I was blown away by their professionalism and talent displayed on the shoot and I can tell that they are going to go far. The results from our 2014 photo shoot are below, hope you like them!

The Fellowship Academy of Merit and Excellence (F.A.M.E.) Team are selected annually to promote a new generation of bright young hairdressers Nominated exclusively by Fellowship members the potential team members undergo a rigorous selection process that starts with a nomination from a Member of The Fellowship and includes photographic work, a test of the candidates' ability to recreate their photographs under time pressure, a detailed CV, an in-depth interview, a haircut, a long hair assessment and a 2-minute live demonstration of their hairdressing skills onstage at Salon.

A busy and fulfilling year is organised for the F.A.M.E Team. This involves photographic shoots, media publicity, fashion shows, hairdressing seminars and events. Above all the team hone their skills and are given a unique platform to shine.

Many thanks to the Fellowship for British Hairdressing and the one and only Bruno Marc Giamattei who trusted in me to produce this years collection!

Fellowship for British Hairdressing – Colour Project 2011

The Fellowship Colour Project's fourth training day was a Studio 54 themed photo shoot held at the Ask Academy, London, with mentor Tanya Hennessey. Tanya assisted the students with the clothes styling as well as co-ordinating the day. Given a £50 budget for clothes on the morning, the students created their final looks for the shoot in the afternoon, directed by Chris Williams (international colour director, Rush Hair) and Jo O'Neil, (Toni & Guy international education technical director).

It was a pleasure to shoot the Fellowship's Colour Project again this year. The students displayed a high level of talent and enthusiasm, each one interpreting and encapsulating the Studio 54 theme perfectly. All in all a very successful day and they now have a fantastic collection to show for it!

Once again, an exceptionally high standard was demonstrated by the Fellowship's students at the Wella World Studio in London for the Colour Project 2010 photo shoot. Many thanks to Mark Creed at the Fellowship, also to Tony and Tanya Hennessey (Hair XS) for all their help on the day. The resulting collection is shown below:

Fellowship for British Hairdressing – Colour Project 2009

An exceptionally high standard of hairdressing was displayed by the Fellowship's Colour Project students this year. Every colour of the spectrum was covered from Poppy Red fused with jet hues through to Buttery Blondes that were exquisetly suffused with candy pink. Biker-glam inspired accessories play perfect foil to the leather and shorter hair to ensure this collection was pure glamour with power-dressed tough quiffs and edges. With artistic direction by Paul Scully from Scully and Scully. I would like to thank Carol Spencer and Mark Creed at the Fellowship for a fantastic day. A preview of the collection can be seen below.
