Capturing a Moment

D ROCK, HAIRSTYLIST

This is an extra image shot after a studio fashion shoot had ended. It’s actually a shot of the fabulous hairstylist D Rock, who I had not worked with before. He was an amazing hairstylist as well as fun to be around. We had spent a day shooting a variety of beautiful images, beautifully lit and shot with elegance and calm, and I asked D Rock if I could also photograph him with his Elvis glasses on. We put on some groovy music and without me asking he just starting dancing to it, so I shot a few frames, and this was the moment I captured. In a sense this image brings out his essence of being to the fore; he was a star in that moment and was having fun, and it all came together in that split second that I pressed the shutter. —SA
