Simon Procter just wrapped a shoot for Marriott Hotels in Prague, via agency McGarry Bowen. We can't give too much away but the shoot was a pretty epic affair down in Prague.
An immense ex-Soviet film studio was taken over. As the old studios were so full of dust, they were pretty much huge fire traps. "KOURENT ZAKAZANO" was written on all the walls, meaning "Absolutely No Smoking" in Czech.
While Disney was shooting a major blockbuster next door, McGarry Bowen were at work on their own ambitious creative project.
According to Simon..."It was a challenging shoot, a lot of elements to pull together and a huge international crew to manage. But everyone really forged as a team and we actually had a lot of fun. I even managed to persuade our Czech studio crew to let me get access to the ancient roof space, not for the faint hearted!"

We're excited to see the campaign! Coming soon!
I was asked to appear in the campaign by Julian
Broad who is the photographer and has shot the campaign for the last few
seasons. As I have known Julian for years, whilst working as a hairstylist on
shoots with him I thought it would be fun to see what is was like to be on the
other side.

How does the experience of being in front of the camera differ than styling
hair on the other side of the camera?
The
main differences between being in front of and behind the camera for me really
came down to 'watching and being watched'. What I mean by that is, as a hair
stylist you work as part of a team to create looks and then spend days
maintaining these creations, watching, looking, seeing these creations come to
life. Whilst modeling there are numerous people (aka the team), directing,
looking, creating, styling, grooming you, to make you feel comfortable in front
of the camera. I think it helped alot having a background in this business as
most of the other models cast for the campaign were real people too.

On March 28th, 2007, Michael Thompson did a shoot in Tokyo for this fall’s advertising campaign for RMK cosmetics. The shoot took place at Iino Studio, Aoyama, Hanjee did the hair, Tomoki Sukezane was the stylist, & of course Rumiko (the Creator behind RMK Cosmetics) did the make-up. Click on the image for a gallery of a few behind-the-scenes photos from that day. (And coming up are pictures from Michael's exhibition opening and after-party.)
