Photoshoot hair - crimped updo

I recently did a photoshoot with another course member and for this I was involved in the hair for the shoot.

The first brief from the photoshoot was a simple sleek curled up do which i found quite easy to do, the model had naturally curly hair so I used some simple techniques of backcombing around the perimeter for height and pinned it all sparodically into the middle creating as I went along. for these kinds of hair ups i find going with the flow and easier way to do it, I had a reference picture to follow but I had the general idea anyway and I always like to put my own take on things.

The second brief and second look we were given was a 'Tim Burton' style look, so to change the hair we used crimping all over to get a good frizz to the hair and the colour was perfect for the look as well and we both said, although this wan't for out project, this would have been perfect for the Elizabethans.
There wasn't really a plan for this second look again so I took it upon myself and with some help, backcombed the hair all over to create good height and texture to the look and then we went asymmetric with it, I literally got one side of the hair, lifted the top up and pinned the bottom half under, on the other side the hair was left very big but allowed to drop and go more natural.

I really enjoyed my time on this shoot, it was however really stressful because there wasn't a definite plan to what we were doing, this is down to us as makeup and hair artists to ask for details but also down to the organiser of the photoshoot who should have given us more specific details.
The organiser of the shoot had a very vague idea of what she wanted and I think as someone in control of the end result regarding the hair and makeup I made some good decisions and interpreted it well enough.
The end result was good and the looks we created were 'perfect' according to the photographer so although I think organisation wasn't good at all in this case it did actually all turn out the way we wanted.
I enjoyed being able to use the new skills and techniques in a different environment as well outside of the lesson time and on something completely off track from the project.
