White on White
S
Should it be ethereal? Surreal? Romantic?
After researching and conferring as a team, the attendees decided to give their shoot a sophisticated, urban-chic spin.
Co-Director Chrystofer Benson mentored them on crafting their braided hairstyles for the camera; Co-Director Joseph Cartright enhanced their clearly defined theme with subtle shadows to create dimension where only white existed.
The finished result: White on White, a color-free collection that celebrates urban appeal, sophistication and hair artistry.
