"We are very proud of this important international media honor.”
Hair models needed: Many local male and female models will receive complimentary image makeovers that will include a new hair cut, hair color and hair design. Aspiring models who are interested in taking part in this photography competition are invited to contact Michael Angelo Hair Studio for a Passion Model Application. To receive these free services and to be considered, models must be willing to allow the hair designers to create a new hair cut, hair color or highlight and hair design image for them.
After all of the new hair styles have been completed, professional make-up and wardrobe artistry will be engaged to further accent each model’s new look before they are photographed by nationally renowned photographer, Tom Carson.
This Passion International photography competition session will be one of six series held across the USA for new stylebooks that will be published in 2011 and 2012.
Hair Designers & Salon Teams are invited: All top area salons are invited to participate. During this professional photography session, talented hair stylists and hair colorists will demonstrate their creative skills by creating beautiful new hair design artistry for an array of models.
