LIFE THROUGH A LENS

Award-winning hairdresser Ken Picton is the only Welsh man to be inducted into the British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame for Wales & South West Hairdresser of the Year

1 Perfect Partnership
This was my first shoot with Andrew O’Toole, and I’ve never shot with anyone else since. We used the same black top on the models so the focus was purely on the hair.

2 Creative Courage
 
I struggled to find my creative vision on this shoot, however, the collection was one of my most successful and this shot earned me more covers and coverage than any of my other images.

3 Make It Click
This was a shot I did for a ghd shoot that I art directed. It was shot against this amazing screen – and everything just ‘clicked’.

4 Cool Vibes
This collection was shot on location in Melbourne with an absolutely beautiful model who was up for something ‘cool’, so I created this fabulous Sputnik look.

5 Make it POP
This is from our Pop Art collection. We used the same model, and coloured her hair eight times. Simplicity is key and it was important that we didn’t detract from the colour.

6 A Clash of Colours
I love the layering of print, from clothing to back drop, and clashing hair in my Sci-Fi collection, Timeless, Energy.This was a daring but beautiful overload that worked perfectly.

Together Again

7 Together Again
This year I reunited with Andrew, shooting for Artistic Team and Wales & South West Hairdresser of the Year. Our model, the clothes and make-up all fell stylishly into place.
