Eleanor Hicks - Taken by Pete Barlett.This is a bit of a cheat as it’s three images rather than one. However, I just wanted to show what was possible when a client really knows what they want and turns up prepared.
This is Eleanor Hicks. In consultation with her agent, she had three exact looks she wanted to nail. We worked on the emotion behind each character type until we got the right expressions. She’d thought carefully about clothes and makeup beforehand so no time was lost in deciding what to wear. She had even been colour tested so she knew exactly which colours suited her best. Most importantly, all of this meant she felt confident, prepared and in control in front of the camera. Collaboratively we got everything she wanted and a couple more looks besides.
