Urban Retreat @ Harvey Nichols SS12 collection

I had the opportunity to work alongside some amazingly talented and creative people in a commissioned shoot for Urban Retreat at Harvey Nichols last month.
We wanted something fresh and young - totally different to the beauty images we are used to seeing online and in magazines.
Inspiration derived from two totally different statements; nu housewife and colour pop, which are both certain to crop up in spring/summer collections for 2012.

Each model had a totally different look and I wanted that to be apparent in the photographs so I gave each of them their own specific hue and lighting that I felt worked best with their individual looks.

The hair, make up and styling have all been perfectly executed by these talented people below and I hope the photographs do them justice!
