Salon owner, Scott Christmann, has a great shop in downtown Claremore, Oklahoma that includes his trademark retro decor. Here’s a few pictures we made inside of his salon with two of his clients. I brought my makeup kit and accessories along, and had a chance to style our models to compliment Scott’s work. First we took some classic pictures, then Scott added his own touch to the styles…you’ll see.

I changed out our background from the green paper roll to Mylar–something I learned about in one of Amherst Media’s many books on photographing women. The Mylar is used in most gardens to keep water near the plant (in fact…I ordered it from a garden store), but its highly reflective surface and 5 foot roll are ideal for bouncing light in unique ways. Here’s some of my favorite results. The colors in the background are actually reflections of colors on the walls of the salon.
