Theme:

I am exploring the notion of duality. I would like you to arrive with minimal make-up and styling. Nothing too "clubby", "glam" or "avant-garde" just a relaxed version of yourself. The "real" you perhaps.

Please come in a simple black or white shirt or T shirt with no logos and free of fussy detail. I will have a selection on hand also.

Please also bring up to 2 outfits that you would wear to go to somewhere a bit special like a club, party or event- but importantly, something that you feel comfortable with. It should really represent your more flamboyant side of your character and nature. It needn't be super crazy or super avant-garde - just something that you'd wear when you're feeling confident and are happy to be seen in. 

 

Timing & Scheduling:

Please allow at least an hour from the time you arrive to the time you leave. 

As a guide I am planning on spending 30-40 minutes shooting time with each person. This will be split as 10-15 minutes in our black/white top and 15-20 minutes in your styled look. Depending on the amount of hair and make-up work that goes into your look, I could spend longer on this side. 

Your appointment should run as follows:

* Arrive and consult with stylists. Show our "change" outfits.

* make-up /hair re-touch - please note that you should come in very little and simplistic make-up. Drama will be added in the second half. Excessive make-up will be removed so please do not come over-styled.

* shooting with black/white shirt/t-shirt

* into hair & make-up. the stylists will have decided on a look for you. You can decide how far you are willing to go. Give them free reign or to create a version similar to what you would normally do. If you are feeling brave, we'd love you to give us free reign!

* into second shoot

* finish!

 

Nudes & Semi-Nudes:

I am keen to shoot a number of implied nude (topless with hands or hair obscuring breasts, turned to the side etc) as well as non-obscured. This is totally at your own discretion. There is no pressure to do this whatsoever. I may ask you to consider it and the rest is up to you.

If you are considering or committed to a few shots like this, then please do not wear a bra to come to the shoot, or if you do, wear a loose fitting one to avoid the pressure lines of strap marks.

The shooting area can be screened off so that only you and I will be party to the shoot. I will have one male and one female lighting assistants who may need to make alterations for me from time to time.
