Interesting... but how did you get the hair up like that... a fan?

John we used centripetal acceleration i.e. AC has a magnitude equal to the square of the body's speed V along the curve divided by the distance R from the center of the circle to the moving body; that is, ac = v2/r.
Where AC = centripetal acceleration; V = Velocity and R = Radius

Fans are typically verboten when working with young agency talent...
The randomly blown hair can (and often does) seriously irritate the talents eyes which is a major problem since she has cosmetic eye decor (i.e. mascara and kohl eyeliner) which will run down her face when she tears up...

I've done wedding event makeup for countless brides...
But don't take my word for it... walk into your locale beauty salon and ask them about eye decor for brides...
They ALL cry... that's a given... And that's why I use silicon base TEMPTU® Airbrush makeup on brides. It's very water resistant...

Nope, fans are not just appropriate especially around the face...
Hope this helps John

Thomas, you took her for a spin?

What speed RPM. What type of a spin table? Sounds way out!!

To quote you... "used centripetal acceleration, AC, i.e. AC has a magnitude equal to the square of the body's speed V along the curve divided by the distance R from the center of the circle to the moving body; that is, ac = v2/r. Where AC = centripetal acceleration; V = Velocity and R = Radius "

Oh yes, almost forgot... fantastic fantasy shot. Great contrast of color and dynamics... a wow.

very nice work. About what speed was she turning (RPMs)? Sounds like a lot of set up work.

My guess is that this shot was done through a "flick of the head" to get the hair to stand out.

And that is a selected shot out of several that were not quite as successful in getting the hair spread so beautifully.

Thomas?
