Most of you who find yourself at my Profile page will already be registered models or photographers on Model Mayhem. Alternatively you may have found your way here because I gave you my card after stopping you on a London street for a chat. Either way, please read on .....
I'm currently developing a portfolio of street photographs entitled
'BOBS IN THE CITY'; women with great bobbed hairstyles set against iconic London backdrops.
Many women these days have bob-length hair but far less have the strong geometric styles that I’m looking for. Your cut might be a 1920s flapper style. It could be a classic, short, Vidal Sassoon style bob with face-framing sides and a blunt fringe. It might be inverted; longer at the front, angled at the sides with the back shorter and either stacked or disconnected. It could even be slightly or strongly asymmetric. Contrasting colours can add an extra dimension to all of these styles. There are many variants, but if you have such a cut it will most definitely be short, sharp, chic and shiny. Precision is everything in such styles and so I'm looking for models with recently-cut hair and, if coloured, negligible re-growth.
If you’re a
registered Mayhem model with the ‘look’ I describe above and can do a shoot in central London, then please get in touch by leaving me a message here. I realise that the shoot must be of sufficient duration to make it ‘worthwhile’; I therefore offer paid shoots of typically two-three daylight hours in an outdoor street location. We can discuss clothes and make-up for the shoot and agree the time, exact location and fees (including reasonable travelling expenses) a few days in advance.
If you’re
visiting my Profile because I gave you my card, then it means you already have
exactly the style that I’m looking for. If you agree to a shoot, however, your pictures will not be shown on this site (or anywhere else) without your permission. In your case, the shoot could also be much shorter (circa 45 minutes minimum) with the timing and central London street location chosen to fit around your work. This would also be during daylight hours so perfectly safe; but you’re welcome to bring someone with you if it would make you feel more comfortable. I also don’t expect you to wear anything other than what you would normally wear to work, unless, of course, you want to! Whether you allow your pictures to be published or not, you will be paid and I will send you electronic copies if you would like them. I realise that this prospect may be slightly daunting but if you would like to do it, or discuss it further, then please get in touch via the contact details on the card I gave you.
Thank-you for reading!
David
