RENE IS READY FOR REDKEN: Esri

Rene Erwee of Salon Elan's second entry for the Redken Ultimate Chromatics Haircolour Contest is red hot, three shades of red to be exact! It turned out just the right combination to emphasise model Esri's beautiful blue-green eyes.

... and her lips.

RENE IS READY FOR REDKEN: Coral

Rene Erwee of Salon Elan in Somerset West asked me to photograph hair models for the Redken Ultimate Chromatics Haircolour Contest which she wanted to enter. The competition gives colourists the opportunity to win a trip to the 2013 Redken Symposium in Las Vegas in January. 

This project stretched over three shoots and nearly two months. 

The next three posts tell the story of one very creative hair stylist (Rene), three brave models (Coral, Esri and Charlise), a very talented MUA (Candice Harker) and a photographer who was given license to experiment (lucky me!). 

May there be many more such competitions!
