AHOMH FASHION FOCUS: Photoshoot W/Frank Ross


I try all kinds of beautiful, different, edgy, sleek, or fun hairstyles whenever I have a professional photo shoot; however, for whatever reason, I don't often do the loc knots style for them. In fact, besides the one I'm about to tell you about, I've only ever done the short style for one other shoot and it was for actor headshots not fashion photography. I guess maybe I sometimes feel it's too "cutesy" of a style.

That all changed on a recent shoot with Frank Ross Photography.  I was actually asked to do makeup for the shoot's model when they got a last minute cancellation. Somehow in the mix of things, I ended up in front of the lens too. The result was magic if I do say so myself haha:


With the lighting angles and wardrobe, the hairstyle definitely escaped the "cutesy" arena and gained some edge. Of course it's all in the styling too: I have one side of the front two-strand twist bangs swept up over to the other side and used edge control to make the edges more sleek. I love how the photos turned out.
