Life THROUGH A LENS

With more than 30 years’ experience and two salons in Balham and Wimbledon, London Robert Kirby has a global reputation for his photographic work

Haute Couture

1 I launched Robert Kirby London eight years ago and this was one of the first images I created. It has a timeless, fashion feel, which I love.

2 Precision Cut

This was a collaboration I did with id Hair seven years ago when I became their creative director. It showcases my precision cutting, which is my favourite technique.

3 Raw Talent

I appeared on the HJ Stage at Salon International four years ago and recreated this image. I wanted to showcase beautiful hair with a raw edge.

4 70s Redux

Grace Jones was my muse for this image, I wanted to work with Afro hair and give the whole collection a Studio 54 vibe.

5 Red Alert

I received a lot of attention with this image from international publications, working with different textures of hair with strong colour.

6 Colour Clash

This is from my latest collection, Eirian, which combines lines with movement, bold styling and couture blend robes.

7 High Hair

I really enjoy working with Avant Garde hair and this was one of the first images I created for an editorial when we opened our salon in Balham.
