About Modern & Editorial Glam
Editorial work requires a different approach than standard party hair. For these shoots, I use specific high-shine gels, texture dust, and matte pastes that are designed to withstand intense studio heat without weighing your hair down. If we are aiming for a snatched, wet-look style or an architectural bun, I build the structure to survive harsh studio lighting and camera angles for hours, so you don't have to worry about flyaways.
Whether you are prepping for a brand collaboration, a fashion magazine shoot, or a high-profile media event, your hair needs to perform. In a studio setting, camera lights are unforgiving and will highlight even the smallest imperfections. My approach to modern and editorial glam is about precision.
Why Editorial Hair is Different
Editorial hairstyling is less about soft, romantic flow and more about sharp, intentional shapes. When we work together on a commercial project, I bring a specific kit of high-fashion products—texture sprays that hold volume in place and high-shine gels for that sleek, polished finish. We look at the camera angles beforehand to ensure the hairstyle complements your bone structure and the outfit.
My Process for Shoots
- Pre-Shoot Consultation: We discuss the mood board and the specific 'vibe'—is it Y2K, wet-look, or high-fashion sleek?
- Technical Prep: I use crimping and structural padding to ensure the style doesn't collapse under heavy lighting.
- Standby Support: For longer shoots, I stick around to manage flyaways and adjust volume between camera changes.
I have worked with creators and brands across Mumbai to deliver styles that look as good on screen as they do in person. Whether you need a slicked-back ponytail that creates a snatched look or a creative braided bun for a launch event, I know how to make hair look sharp for the lens.
