Personal Information:
Name: Wayne Johns
Explanation: My theme was ‘Birds of summer’ – The designers collection was all black, so I wanted the shoot and models expression to be a little moody and for the rich blacks to pull through. Almost a bit like a Tim Burton movie…
I had the hair piece especially designed to my specification to suit the shoo, and the texture of the clothing just finished it off beautifully.
The ‘summer’ part of my theme is only the violet colours of the make up, which was a strong colour from SS10 catwalks.
Melissa Rodwell’s Critique: How can I pass this shot up?? The fact that Wayne had the hair piece especially designed just for this shoot really shows that he has a great eye and he is very determined to execute a stellar shoot. I absolutely agree with the Tim Burton reference, which is one of my all time favorites as well.
Wayne also did a great job in lighting the coarse black fabrics, kudos to you, Wayne! I had to laugh when I read the “summer” theme part….violet colours in the make up! Summer is probably my least favorite season to shoot for, I’ll have to remember that one for the next editorial I have with a summer theme! Great shot, overall. It just stood out to me, and I love the lighting and the designer. Who is it by the way?
