HAIR & BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHY
Chris Bulezuik
Hair photography for independent stylists, salons and global brands.
Hair is always
the hero.
You put a lot into the work you create. My job is to understand what matters to you and make sure that comes through in the photographs.
That might be the detail in a cut, the way a colour catches the light, or the shape of something completely unexpected. From your first collection to a commercial campaign, we’ll work together to give the hair the attention it deserves.
Selected work.

Afro & Texture
I love exploring the shape, texture and possibilities of Afro hair, with lighting that gives every detail its moment.

Colour
Colour can completely change how we see a look, and I’m always thinking about how to bring out the tones and the work behind them.

Editorial
This is where the hair, styling and personality come together to tell a story.

Men's Hair
From a sharp cut to something a little less polished, I’m looking for the character in both the hair and the person wearing it.

Avant Garde
One of the things that first drew me to hair photography was seeing what people could create when hair became their artistic medium.

Commercial
I enjoy working with brands or salons to understand what they want to say and create photographs that feel right for them.

Cut & Shape
A great cut deserves to be seen properly, from the overall silhouette to the smallest detail.

Long & Styling
Whether it’s loose and moving or carefully sculpted, I’m interested in how the hair takes shape in front of the camera.
WORKING TOGETHERYou don’t need to have it all worked out.
Some clients come to me with a clear brief. Others have the beginnings of an idea and need help finding a direction. Both are a good place to start.
Before we shoot, we’ll talk about what you want to create and where the images will be used. I’ll ask you to share references so I can get a feel for the mood you have in mind. From there, we can work through the lighting, the team and how everything will come together.
I know organising your first collection can feel like a lot. You’re suddenly making decisions about models, makeup and styling as well as the hair. I can help you work through those decisions and draw on the experience of the people around you.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME.
I came to hair
through portraiture.
A chance meeting at my Brighton studio led to my first hair event. I found myself photographing these incredible avant-garde creations and discovered a whole community of artists whose medium happened to be hair. I was hooked.
Before photography, I worked in advertising. It taught me how to listen, understand a brief and turn an idea into something we could create together. That experience still shapes the way I work.
What’s on your mind?
Tell me a little about your idea, when you’d like to shoot and what the images are for.
If you’re still figuring some of that out, that’s fine too.
Based in Horsham, West Sussex, UK.
Available for shoots across the UK and internationally.
