OCTOBER 2017 | beautylaunchpad.com | 73 help you see things that when you are working alone, you simply don't see. Frank Andrade The great thing about this shoot was that we didn't have a common theme or end goal. We all got to bring our own visions to life, and when we were done, were able to place all of our photographs side by side and have a beautiful and vast display of artistry. It's a true testament to how strong of a team we've become. Most memorable part of working on the shoot? VTH It was the end of the day, I was shooting last and my model—and everyone else—were tired. All of a sudden someone says "Vic needs wind!" And the whole team came running with boards to help push through the last photos. For me it wasn't about the image, but the team pulling for each other. Advice to others—perhaps a salon team— working on collaborating for a collection? DR Be open to letting go of an idea; don't hang on too tight. The best work comes when we are open to new infl uences. Value and respect what each team member brings to the table. OS My biggest piece of advice when collaborating for a collection is to truly listen to everyone's ideas, whether someone's been in this industry for years or is fairly new to it. That is one beautiful thing about this craft: Experience and raw talent can come together to create innovative concepts. VTH Let people do what they do best. Push them to do more and act like a team. The fi nal product for a good team isn't the images, but when everyone can walk away saying, "I can't wait to do this again!" HAIR: VICTORIA THURMAN-HALL; PHOTOGRAPHER: NICK BERARDI; MAKEUP ARTIST: ERIC ALLEN; WARDROBE STYLING: RIK VILLA Stylist: Victoria Thurman Hall Inspo: "I drew inspiration from a white gardenia that was given to me by a friend. The fl ower was fl awless and pure, so for my model, I wanted to create a pure white hair color that wasn't blue or warm. And for my model's total look, I wanted the image to read black and white, while actually being in color."
