Contessa 17 2006 Alberta Hairdresser of the Year

These are the images That won 2006 Alberta Hairstylist of the Year. This was one of the easiest and most relaxed photo shoots we have done to date. The photographer was awesome Christy Dean at www.bluefishstudios.ca very organized, quick, diligent and creative. Andy Dos Anjos did all the clothing styling and last but not least hair was obviously done by the elysium hair army. These photo's evoke so many different emotions from people that they truly border on being a piece of art. The inspiration is a Victorian ship wreck. We wanted to capture the moment of them being washed up on shore and allowing the viewer
a glimpse of what their life might have been like, obviously with an elysium twist. I think one of the coolest haircuts we have ever done is on melony the copper head girl with the shaved line behind her ear. Very edgy but some how she stays femine and pretty at the same time. Also Fernando the guy with the shaved cross in his head I just decided to shave the cross in his side and sent him to wardobe.... when he came back he had a tattoo of a cross on his chest that I did not know about, very cool.

(BIG FAN OF THIS SHOOT!)
