BEHIND THE SCENES! Photo Shoot for Hair Stylist Lamont Wagstaff (August 10, 2010)

Photo Shoot for Hair Stylist Lamont Wagstaff
Date: August 10, 2010
Location: Hampton, VA
Photographer: Dexter D Cohen
Makeup: Nita J
Hair Stylist: Lamont Wagstaff
Model: Clarissa Scott




Impromptu photo shoots are always a fun challenge! No concepts or themes discussed prior to..just show up and show out! I LOVE IT! Photographer Dexter Cohen, who I work with frequently, called me a few hours before the photo shoot and asked if I could do makeup for a shoot in Hampton, which I quickly agreed to..didn't know any details, location or anything lol!

Once I got to the shoot location I became so excited that I was going to be working with model Clarissa Scott, who won "Best Female Model" of the VA Fashion Awards 2009! What made things even sweeter was that the hair stylist, Lamont Wagstaff, photographer Dexter Cohen and myself are all nominated for different categories of this year's VA Fashion Awards! That common bond between all of us made the shoot so amazing..all that talent in one studio!!

Here a few pics I snapped during the shoot...
