Calendar Girls: Cover Girl Magic!

Vicki Clay for Hair & Makeup - Cover of the Kooralbyn Kollective 2015 Calendar

 

 I am quite convinced that Vicki Clay is magic.  Our calendar cover girl worked absolute wonders on all 14 shoots and had me constantly in awe of her extraordinary talent and skill.  Her cover image says it all really.  She is our fairy godmother, our magical transformation wizard, the chick with the wand and she's not afraid to use it!!

This is the only image I'm going to show from the actual calendar.  If you want to see the rest, you'll just have to buy one here.  Obviously, this is two images and a whole lot of merging and creative computer art, so there is really only this image to give an idea of how it all turned out.  For everyone else, there's plenty of shots to go around so the final image is being kept under wraps, for those who are supporting us in our mission to boost positivity and openness in our little community.

Beyonce, eat your heart out!!!

Vicki's shoot was one of the last we did.  It was shot in her salon which (you wouldn't know from the image) is still under construction.  This cool idea was her own vision, and I'm really quite chuffed I was able to bring it to fruition.  She was great to photograph because she's happy to play up for the camera which sometimes gets the best shots!  It's amazing what you think is over the top, is sometimes just right for a photo.  She's also now queen of the "shelf technique".  Anyone who has done a shoot with me will know what that means ;)

All in all, a magical experience :)
