One of my favorite clients is Aveda Institute. In addition to working with the corporate office, I have been selected to photograph the graduating projects of their up and coming future professionals. These groups always have creative ideas and great fun with their challenging photo shoots. This class project was themed "vintage" -- each of 8 students selected a particular theme and a model and recreated a vintage look from their chosen era. My job was to complete the look. With no prior knowledge of what looks and eras would be requested, this type of shoot is great fun and a challenge for me as a photographer. Why the challenge? I had 8 models to shoot in two hours, on location - and the shoot was at night. Zero natural light. I had the opportunity to shoot everything from 1940s fresnel spot look to 80's glam fashion.
