Who is edge?


This was an experiment of working with a
graffiti artist edge and combining all the elements of a fashion team to creating an
artistic fashion
shoot. Amazing fashion and beauty photographer Camille Sanson, Stylist Shyla Hassan fashion and celebrity booker at Recognise Magazine who all constructed the garment from various materials and then Edge worked his magic with his graffiti sprays and worked on the backdrop and blue dress. I was impressed with the final look of the sprayed material as it looked like leather and plastic. The make up was avant garde with a modern twist taking inspiration from Dior shows during their couture fashion week. Blocked out eyebrows with fine scar wax and set with a sealer. Thin 1920 eyebrows drawn in to keep it delicate. Soft MAC eyelashes were used on top and bottom with just a delicate eyeliner to blend in. Skin paled out with white face and body mixed in with white full coverage and W10 full coverage. Soft Pink Shock cream blush by MAC and Russian Red MAC lipstick to finish the look. As we shot we had all assistants on hand to move and throw the dress while I directed the fan to give extra movement onto the garment. Different moments were shot separately and then as the last shot I threw loose pink pigment paints over the model. It was so beautiful to watch....
