CONTRAST is the secret of great photographers, who use it to make images leap off the page. Showing rough against sleek and fresh against classic architecture, Luis Alvarez, photographer and co-founder of Aquage, uses contrast as the defining element for his latest work of art, Contrasto.

One more interesting element: The zigzagging light was created by Alvarez's own hand cupping a light source!

Undulating waves were thermally designed using Aquage Working Spray; basket-woven ribbon was created with Defining Gel. aquage.com

Still holding on to the last few weeks of summer? So are we! Though we may be ready for a change in the weather, we'll miss the bright pops of color commonly associated with the summertime -- not to mention the countless iterations of blonde and pastel hues! Good news: The Pop Sun collection offers a last hurrah that we're happy to share with you. Fun and flirty color joins forces with sophisticated styling for an overall look that -- much like summer -- we won't be forgetting anytime soon.

For Chumba Concept Salon's Belinda Keeley, inspiration emerged from a study of urban culture design, art, and the people in it.
Most of the details Keely collected and photographed were uncovered in Melbourne, Australia's Windsor area.
"Where Street art was once considered vandalism, it has now become my color inspiration; drawing ideas from graffiti, street life, people, and the street vendors," says Keeley. The color selections can seem like mash-ups crossed with some expensive classic hues. Color runs the spectrum-from calm to erratic, and the haircut designs are architectural in construction with clean dominating shapes mixed with a touch of free flow street art.
