Elevate Your Salon’s Brand

Ready to Style your Hair Brand?

You love your clients and love helping people look and feel their best.

You might not be sure how to speak to your perfect & ideal dream clients.

I might know a thing or two about helping you achieve this goal. After all, you’re my dream client and here you are!

Our style of photography is fun, energetic, & tailored to match your vision.

Are you ready to showcase your skills with your personality in some stunning content?

Ok, but who is this for, exactly?

  • Hair Stylists

  • Makeup Artists

  • Nail Techs

  • Beauticians

  • Salons or Salon-Owners

  • Anyone in the field of cosmetology

For creative hairstylists who want more than traditional photos, we provide dynamic, story-driven photography that captures the passion of your art.

Your craft is an art form. Your clients are your canvas. Let's create imagery that reflects the passion and creativity behind your work. We believe that stunning visuals are essential for building a strong brand identity in the competitive hair industry. Our photography goes beyond traditional salon shots, capturing the essence of your artistry and connecting with your target audience.

Chris did an excellent job of capturing the personality of my salon. With very little direction, he was able to help us pose, choose interesting shots, and was able to make our vision come to life. I would definitely recommend hiring him for any branding shoot.

If we have not yet met…

I'm Chris! An Erie based portrait photographer and a bit of a visual artist myself.

I work with hair and makeup artists who are wanting to:

✅ elevate their online presence with powerful images

✅ feel confident and put their best face forward in their professional images

✅ have a stress-free experience with clear and easy communication and prompt turnaround times

✅ connect with their customers online and social media (and need great photos of themselves to do so)!

My approach is focused on creating images that not only showcase your talent but also tell your story. I believe in making the photoshoot process enjoyable and stress-free, so you can focus on what you do best.

Are you ready to tell your story?

You wouldn't let your clients' hair fall flat, don't let your brand fall flat either! In today's competitive market, stunning visuals are essential for hair stylists like you. At Zdarko Photography, we create captivating images that elevate your brand and attract new clients. Let's collaborate to create a visual identity that truly represents your artistry.

“Chris thinks ahead and really cares about your story, everbody has a story but…

Not everyone can capture the authentic moments that go with it.”

The Process

01

Start Easy!

Introduce yourself over an inquiry or email. We’ll chat and make sure we’re a great match!

02

Planning & Consult

We’ll work through the specifics. Learn about you, your brand, your salon and your vision! During this we will collaborate and come up with a fun and engaging shoot that will have your clients raving!

Photoshoot time!

The prepping, guides, questionnaire will all come together with a tailored photoshoot just for you! Relax, it’ll be fun - I promise.

Dance & Celebrate!

I will work hard to bring the vision of your brand to life, in your edits, style and more! You will receive a link to your digital files where you can download, save, share, or print! Whereever and however often you want!

But wait… Chris, this all sounds great, but what exactly is “Branding for Hair Stylists?!”

This is where the collaboration takes place. When you contact me, we will work together to establish what makes you, uniquely yourself.

✅ We will work together to help identify your style, your strengths, your passion, your vision, and your clients.

✅ You will receive comprehensive guides on planning your wardrobe (Hair and makeup is covered, right?!)

✅ We will create a tailored shot list to make sure we nail every look and outfit you got!

Ok but I am camera shy…

That’s perfectly okay! Most of my clients are.

We will create a fun and engaging environment. With my help for direction on posing & prompts, you’ll forget the camera is even there! It’ll be a game of Simon Says, where you can watch me strike these poses. (Heck, I’ll even let you take my picture with your phone)

 FAQs

  • Yes. No. Maybe. If it fits your brand, I'm here for it!

  • Nope! Many brand clients love to showcase themselves at various locations. Coffee shops, Presque Isle Beaches, etc.

  • Yes, yes, yes, and YES! (As long as the venue or location is good with them!)

    All I ask is that they are a positive influence in your life.

  • Instead of doing an approach of setting limits, the only real limit is the session time. If our brand session is two hours booked, we can hit as many spots as possible or outfits necessary to bring your vision to life within the time frame.
