Barber Shop Composite for the Francesco Group Cheltenham

This shoot was probably our favourite to date, the scale was enormous and planning alone took almost a month! Lisa Walby from the Francesco Group came to us with a vision of creating a team photograph with a difference,-she wanted all of her staff, the group's owner and her two children to populate a working barber shop/salon. This was no easy task with a total of 19 people! We attempted to source a barber shop to shoot and create a backplate; however, it was very apparent that none were big enough to accommodate so we decided to take a different approach and Nick built one in CGI which enabled us to have full creative control over placement, style and finish. We then spent two days in the studio shooting our lovely models and necessary props and then the rest was up to Photoshop! We are so pleased with the results and owe a great deal of thanks to everyone involved. Check out the behind the scenes video below to see how this image was created!
