On December 4, 2011, Daniel Sudar debuted his chef wear line at San Francisco’s Mercury lounge. I felt honored to participate in hairstyling the models for this show.

Not only is Daniel humble, but a great talent! With only two years, officially, in the design industry, he is off to an amazing career. Why shouldn’t chef’s look fabulous as they create their tasty morsels?

Being Real in Front of the Camera

Rebecca Beardsley — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:45:37 +0000

Recently a photographer posted something about models trying too hard, and I pondered that yes, when a model can be real in front if the camera and comfortable with herself, the photo shoot takes on a whole new depth. This photograph made me think, yes, let’s get back to the awe and wonder that is in us all.

L’Oreal Session Styling Team

Rebecca Beardsley — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:08:29 +0000

Okay. September proved to be an unbelievable month. For five years, I have been pursuing editorial work, building a book, working many hours in exchange for the picture. Through www.hairbrained.com, I learned of the L’Oreal Professionnel Session Styling Team audition. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I submitted this video, and got to go to NYC for the live audition.

All the folks at L’Oreal Professionnel made myself and 15 others feel right at home, Joseph DiMaggio, Amit Abraham, and Kate Oechsle, set the tone with the vision of this team, and of not competing, but to share of ourselves. At the end of the day, one brave soul, asked, “When will we know if we are part of the team or not?” The answer, “You are all part of the team.” I had to pinch myself!

The common thread of those present, humility. I knew right away this was a team I wanted to create with, and support. search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=you+tube-+rebecca+beardsley

Fashion Fun

Going through the archives and saw this. On July 25, Photographer Earl Crabb and I staged a shoot at Giselle Shepatin studios in San Francisco. Shooting with Earl is a great time, and being able to highlight Giselle’s work is always satisfying.

We found our model Margot through Model Mayhem. She was a complete joy to work with, you could tell she was comfortable in her body. Her dance background served her well, as she posed for us. She was fearless when it came to gazing with the camera.

We shot all day, and got these looks, plus more.

Pheakdey Bun assisted me with makeup.

Cari Borja Designs Photo Shoot

Rebecca Beardsley — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:19:32 +0000

Tear sheets were laid out for me. Each of the three models, which included Cari, needed to look different from the other.

I set up at 9:00 am, and started on the task of styling hair and applying make-up on our first model, finishing at 1:00 pm.

Cari’s Designs are feminine, fanciful, and flirtatious, so we played with the idea of keeping the hair simple, and casual, and approachable.

Cari’s ease, charm and adept storytelling skill made me realize she has crafted her life into one that is creative, and full, and that she is doing none other than what she is meant to do. How fantastic to be a part of the endeavor.
