-I have been a Tearsheet artist for 1 year. My journey began in December of 2012 at a workshop in NYC and I loved that one so much that I attended another workshop in Miami in March 2013.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nWhere do you live and has that stopped you from being creative? Where do you draw inspiration from?<\/p>\n
-I currently live in Raleigh NC and living here has in NO WAY stopped me from being creative. I work behind the chair full time in an amazing Redken\/Pureology salon(Salon Blu), and not only do we get great education such as Giovanni, but the girls I work with are pretty inspiring on a day to day basis. Also, I look at all of the trends happening in our city and that is actually what inspired my formulations for the contest. If I start to feel like I need something fresh, I save my money, pack my bags, an follow education somewhere else. For example, I frequent the Redken Exchange in NYC and now Tearsheet programs all over the country. I believe that if you are hungry enough, you will find a way to feed your creative\/business soul!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nDid you feel prepared when entering the London comp?<\/p>\n
-YES!!! I have done photo shoots in the past but none of them felt this comfortable and surprisingly calm. Due to my schedule, I had to throw it together rather quickly and it still managed to feel good. It was probably a good thing that I didn\u2019t get to have too much time to think about it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nWhat lessons did you take away from your tearsheet experience which helped you prepare and win the competition?<\/p>\n
-SO MANY!!! Haha. A year ago I would\u2019ve told my models to just bring a black outfit, the makeup would\u2019ve been done by me, and my photographer choice would have been based off of something cool I saw on their site.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThis year, thanks to my experiences with Tearsheet, I found a local designer\/stylist that I knew would represent MY BRAND to the fullest, I found a fantastic makeup artist that I knew would complement the hair, and I hired a photographer 100% based on her ability to nail lighting. I knew that this shoot had to be all about the hair color. I also felt very organized the day of and less stressed out because my main focus could be on the hair.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nIf you did not attend the tearsheet workshop would you have entered the London comp?<\/p>\n
-Honestly, I probably would have entered but I now that I would not have had as great of an outcome in my images. I am extremely grateful for all that I\u00a0\u00a0have received.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tearsheet\u2019s interview with Tara Gardiner What inspired you to enter the London photo comp? –I entered the contest because I have never entered one and thought it would be a great experience.
