72 | BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD | OCTOBER 2017 What was your experience collaborating with your peers on the The Wella Studio LA team? Diego Raviglione I am always in awe of the amount of talent that our signature studio artists possess. Oliver Shortall It's always fun working with my team, but this time was even more so. Because we were shooting our own looks, it was really interesting to "see inside" everyone's minds, in a sense. We were all there helping each other out, stepping out of our normal roles, and into the mind-set of, "If I could do anything, what would I do?" Victoria Thurman Hall Collaboration with our team is always spectacular. We all have different strengths that we pull from to make our total experience positive and inspirational. This shoot in particular was so much fun, because we all just went for it and then came together to cheer each other on. What are the main differences when shooting a collection on your own versus with a group? OS When shooting a collection as a team, there are generally one or two people that come up with an overarching theme, and then the team collaborates and creates the looks to represent that team. Everyone generally has a certain role, and will be in charge of making sure that happens. Shooting alone may or may not be the same way. I have never just shot something without talking about the idea with a mentor or friend. Looks always turn out better when you have input from someone that has a similar creative eye. VTH You know the saying, "Too many chefs in the kitchen?" Well, this shoot wasn't like that at all! Collaboration was at an all-time high and we had a blast. I love working with a team; they HAIR: FRANK ANDRADE; PHOTOGRAPHER: NICK BERARDI; MAKEUP ARTIST: ERIC ALLEN; WARDROBE STYLING: RIK VILLA Stylist: Frank Andrade Inspo: "I was really focused on the versatility of a wearable haircut with a strong foundation that allows for myriad styles. I wanted to bring to life the combination of strong perimeter lines with internal texture as well as a play on light for the color."
