Calling daring hair & make-up artists. ✨
I'm developing a long-form fine art photo and video series called The Goddess in You. It's a conversation across generations between two Brazilian-born artists — the dreamlike goddess paintings of Susan Seddon Boulet translated into portraits and short cinema of real women. Ten women, ten goddesses, six to twelve months of work.
I'm looking for a hair & make-up artist (or two) who lives for the unconventional. Sculptural hair, body paint, theatrical textures, raw beauty, the kind of looks that don't belong on a wedding mood board. This is fine art, not bridal. Editorial, not commercial. Painterly, not polished.
The goddesses on my shortlist include Pele, Yemanjá, Aphrodite, Kuan Yin, Inanna, Hathor, Oshun, Persephone, the Triple Goddess, Spider Woman and Lilith. Each will call for something distinct. Some ethereal, some fierce, some sensual, some sacred.
What's involved: 10 shoot days across 6 to 12 months (one goddess per shoot), mood boards and creative briefs developed together, full creative credit across all stills, video, behind-the-scenes and any final book. Paid collaboration, terms discussed individually. Tear sheets, motion content for your own portfolio, exhibition exposure.
The first three shoots are locked in for September 2026 at a studio in Gloucestershire. Pilot batch is Pele, Lilith and Aphrodite, chosen to cover three different energies (fire, dark wisdom, radiant love) so what we learn across the three will inform the seven that follow.
The team so far: myself as creative director and photographer, a personal stylist with strong PR and marketing ties, and the goddesses themselves being cast right now. You'd be joining early, shaping the visual direction with me from the start.
Based around Gloucestershire and the wider UK, most shoots within reasonable travel.
If this lights you up, send a portfolio or your Instagram and a couple of lines on which goddess archetype excites you most.
