Japanese Straw Hair & Make-up art

By ILoVe | Published 02/11/2013

During our journey through the internet we came across this fantastic piece of Japanese make-up art, so we got in touch with the Photographer Ilko Allexandroff to learn more, and ask if we could publish it.

Ilko explains.. “This photograph is a part of a project containing some interesting make-up artwork! It is called “Anri Kolme” and it contains a series of photos of different profiles (side faces). The concept here was to use straws and make something really beautiful. It took the hair-make-up team hours to get her ready, and 10 minutes for me to do the shooting!”
