Turning hairstyle references into practical plans
| My photography class has an assignment about using one deliberate styling choice across a short portrait series. The person modelling wants a temporary change that disappears before their next shift at work. One reference in our planning notes is blonde hair with pink bangs for this project. We are discussing removable pieces rather than dye, since neither of us wants a permanent colour change. I want the fringe to look like part of the hairstyle instead of an unrelated prop placed across the forehead. A practice session should give us time to compare placements before the actual shoot. We intend to hold the lighting and framing steady while changing only the hairstyle detail. We will ask the model to check the fit for comfort before deciding which version to use for the finished assignment. Does anyone have practical advice on choosing the width of a removable fringe section for portrait photographs? |
