Backstage at The Blonds
Backstage at The Blonds with some amazing yellow catseye makeup and vulcan type head pieces created by design duo Phillipe and David Blond. Shot at Milk Studios New York during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - Spring 2014. A truly spectacular show and this is my favourite image from backstage. Laughter is the best medicine.

Backstage with Paris Hilton
A very lucky moment at New York Fashion Week when I managed to capture Paris Hilton backstage on her own just moments before showtime. This was photographed backstage at the Falguni & Shane Peacock Spring 2014 Show. Falguni & Shane Peacock are some of my favourite designers that were showing at London Fashion Week when I first started shooting fashion.

Backstage with Josephine Skriver at Dennis Basso
Josephine Skriver is one of my favourite models. I'm usually shooting backstage beauty portraits with her, however here's an action shot from backstage at Dennis Basso at New York Fashion Week in 2013. The hands of the hair and makeup artists getting her ready for showtime really make the scene.

Backstage at Gregory Parkinson Spring / Summer 2014
Here's a collection of images I shot behind the scenes at Gregory Parkinson during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. These beauty head shots were shot using the Profoto Softbox RFi 5' Octa (150cm) with a Profoto Acute 2-D4 Flash Head set to continuous light. It was a quick and effective method to shoot the many models who were to model in the presentation and produced some beautiful results.
The last two seasons at New York Fashion Week complimentary e-cigarettes were being handed out both backstage and to the arriving guests. This made for lots of fun shots of models taking a puff and posing for the cameras. This model was particularly good fun backstage.

Backstage beauty: Derek Lam’s naughty schoolgirls
Backstage at Derek Lam hair is being teased into a deliberate chaos of messy strands, turned into a bouffant shape and then knotted at the base of the neck into what feels like a lived-in style. The fringe is pinned to the side with a girlishness that belies the roughness of the rest. Derek Lam’s fall 2012 girl is youthful and sweet, but a little bit tomboy too. Estee Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux is in charge of creating a beauty look that not only compliments but cements the mood of Lam’s show. Behind-the-scenes he works effortlessly in his trademark hands-on way, each face a canvas that’s whipped into a masterpiece with what seems like a few easy brush-strokes.
Talking to us backstage at New York fashion week he revealed both the inspirations behind the look, and his expert makeup tips for recreating it at home. Read more after the break.
In the mood board of his mind, Tom Pechaux was picturing a “naughty student”. All at once fresh faced but with a defiant haze of smokey eyeshadow, she fits the mould of Derek Lam’s boy-meets-girl, retro infused collection.
Pechaux and the Estee Lauder team used the brand’s new Invisible Fluid Makeup as the foundation for the look. The lightness of the foundation helps create the look of having gorgeous, natural skin. “You use it, you almost don’t feel it, but the skin looks very even,” Pechaux explains. (His number one tip for applying it? Use your fingers.) A little concealer where most needed, and a dusting of Estee Lauder’s Lucidity Translucent powder, and the naturally flawless skin look is complete.
Brows were groomed but with minimal product. Below them eyes were given plenty of pop but in a way suited to the coolness of the season.
“It’s kind of a smokey burgundy-black… more like a boho finish, with a touch of white matte under the eyebrow and in the inside corner of the eyes,” Pechaux describes. “And what we do with the black eyeshadow, we draw some lines like fake lashes under the eyes – to create a naughty look but also a very girly finish.”
Pechaux couldn’t be more right: the illusion of fake lashes under the eyes creates a ’60s schoolgirl vibe that’s as sudden as it is simple to create.
And another tip from the master: use black mascara on the top lashes, brown on the bottom. The black lifts the eye, anchored by the filled-in brown below. Faith in this technique has lead the brand to release a two-tone mascara called Sumptuous Two Tone Eye-Opening Mascara that comes with both colours.
Subtle pastel-coloured lips complete the Derek Lam look. Pechaux and the Estee Lauder team mixed two colours: Crystal Pink and Vanilla Truffle.
