Having honed the direction into a creative brief, Stephen, along with photographer John Rawson and our PR expert Jacki Wadeson, could then cast and book suitable models, a make-up artist, clothes stylist and a location perfect to suit the vibe.

So, budget agreed and all the ingredients in place – the morning of the two-day shoot dawned. Working with calm, professional ease, RAT Pack members worked in pairs, channeling their collective abilities, applying extensions, cutting, setting, styling and dressing models’ hair to utter perfection to satisfy the photographer’ s keen eye and the camera’ s critical lens.
Says super-pleased Stephen:“ I had every faith, no hesitation whatsoever of the team’ s capability to create outstanding, stunning looks. I knew they’ d meet the brief to satisfy all of Racoon’ s photography needs, both creatively and educationally. But the result surpassed my expectations and I just can’ t tell you how proud I am of everyone in my team.
“ The pictures speak for themselves; an awesome collection of timeless styles which showcase the versatility, fashionability and femininity of hair extensions. I still get a buzz every time I see the images published in the media both home and abroad and I’ m so looking forward to our next shoot, planned for later on this year.”
