In between pacifiers, gummy smiles, spit up rags and wide-eyed wonder we delightfully welcomed our first corporate client, Maestros Hair Studio [link here]. Quite a different change of pace, Solis and I dove right into the industrious world of a specialty hair salon thereby getting to waddle our feet in a new photographic arena.
Even though Maestros was consumed by ever demanding surroundings the attention to detail we needed was much like that of photographing an infant as there was a quiet precision to each of the girls. This session, however, wasn’t about waiting for the moment when a monumental giggle emerged but anticipating the craft that would renovate and revamp an image.
Maestro[noun]: Master of an art, teacher.
From chemical straightening to special occasion updos, Maestros packs a team of master stylists who are both welcoming and sociable. We were affectionately taken in and at once were swept up by the characteristic aura emanating from their delicate fingertips to the enthusiastic and professional way each lady responded to client demands.
Each piece of equipment upon the many stations served a valuable purpose, whether they were for clipping, curling, straightening or dyeing. Most exciting to Solis and I was that we were not simply capturing the professionals but the tools of these artists as well, the products that help to make this salon a successful and proficient machine.
The experience you deliver to your customers should be one that prospers a long and meaningful connection; a wonderful lesson we took away from working with Maestros and its personnel. As photographers we are responsible for portraying the visual aspects of our lives and stylists are there to mold them. We are both working one in the same; creating art through the use of varying instruments to build an emotional connection for our clients.
Thank you, Maestros for allowing us to dip into your busy studio to capture a slice of your flourishing atmosphere and pleasurable business culture. We aspire to use your conscientious example to help cultivate our own prospects and also make a lasting effect on the community.
