Hey!

I'm a second year Applied Photography Student from Sheridan Institute and my name is Alicia Kowalski. I am working on my portfolio, and I need someone to be able to style men's hair. The concept of my portfolio is deeply rooted in my theory background from when I went to McMaster university. It's based on the idea that by day, these gay men attempts to pass as straight, and by night they play up to their fantasy characters. They create at least two different personas and live this life every day. This isn't as documentary as it may seem. I do have a fashion stylist and a make up artist with me on hand. The men that come in (who aren't models) have amazing clothes and the shoot has undertones of fashion and portraiture. I am looking for someone with a great personality that can keep up with this shoot! I need you to be able to create at least three different unique hair styling looks. The shoot is April 10th, from 1-9pm. I'm shooting at Electrafire Studio, which is a small studio space on 201 Weston Road, Unit 205, Toronto. (here's the website: http://www.electrafirestudios.com/ ). Please let me know ASAP if you are available to help.
