Into the mind of Seema Chopra - Hairdresser and Wig Stylist

Here are some examples of Seema Chopra's amazining work as a wig stylist.

I found the Seema Chopra visit really inspiring but also reassuring, sometimes I have ideas and think, "how do I do that?" and worry that I have to produce it in a 'correct' way, but I felt with her enthusiasm and success, Seema Chopra, made me feel more confident about handling hair.

I love how striking these hair looks are, but also the variety of camera angles/shots work with the look to create a stronger outcome, lots to think about.

The love of working with afro hair - combing out the hair and spraying it lots to create a strong avante-garde wig design. Great texture to work with if trying to achieve a bold shape.

Also the makeup look for the '2011' image, reminds me of some tribal designs I've seen whilst researching, the cross over effect, down the cheeks, from the eyes, such a beautiful look.

What I really like about these shoots, are the animalistic qualities for example, the below image reminds me somewhat of a lion's mane, in the sense this style hints at a mane with its colour natural colour choice and the bottom image I believe resembles antlers.

These colour palettes are similar to what I have in mind for my editorial look.

Remembering styling is really important but as these successful images prove, you dont need to cram the model with accessories because you could end up with a styling pile up, sometimes less can be more, its all about figuring out what to include and what to leave out, know when to stop as well as when to start.
