🩰🖤 GOTHIC BALLERINA 🖤🩰 For Goldwell Artistic Team 2025 “A collection where shadow pirouettes with grace, and rebellion wears a crown of tulle. Here emerges a new kind of dancer - one who does not flee the dark, but choreographs within it. This is not softness without power. This is grace forged in shadow.” — CREATIVE TEAM: Photography: @richmilesphoto Make Up: @laurenmathismua Styling: @annalathamstyling Art direction: @markleeson68 @richarddarby Hair Artists: @mrsgmileshair @jacobscullyhair @sophie.safyb @ebonydeighton_gerards @luke_golson What a true creative collaboration led by none other than Mark Leeson, whose artistry and vision continue to inspire the industry.

Hello 👋🏽 I’m hair and beauty photographer, Richard Miles. As my grid is usually dedicated solely to my work, I thought it was about time I jumped on and told you a little bit about me! As a creative image maker, I’ve been fortunate enough to find my niche in the captivating world of hair and beauty photography, where I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the most well known, incredibly talented hairstylists and beauty professionals as well as shooting brand and campaign imagery for some of the biggest industry brands. Through the artistry of my clients, I’ve been able to capture truly remarkable images that have really stood the test of time. I have also worked on projects that have won my clients numerous accolades for their craft over the two decades of my career so far, including 65 winning collections at the prestigious ‘British Hairdressing Awards’. It’s humbling to know that my work has been recognised and sought after in the hair and beauty industry, and I’m grateful for the opportunities to showcase the creativity and skill of others through my work. I simply strive to bring out the skills and unique talent of my clients, and I’m constantly inspired by the artistry that surrounds me. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this amazing industry. Here’s to the next two decades of imagery! 🥂📸 — #photographer #hairphotographer #beautyphotographer #hairandbeautyphotographer #photographers #photographersofinstagram #londonphotographer #manchesterphotographer #birminghamphotographer #ukphotographer #ukbeautyphotographer #ukhairphotographer #professionalphotographer #photographicartist #visualstoryteller #visualartist #visualcommunicator #richardmiles #richardmilesphotography #richmiles #richmilesphoto #portraitofaphotographer #photographersselfportrait #selfportrait #awardwinningphotographer

[ HAIR CON 2025 ] @alison.jameson @ajcpr @fellowshiphair @hairconshow What. A. Weekend. Just wrapped an incredible few days at Hair Con 2025 where I had the absolute pleasure of being backstage photographer for The Fellowship for British Hairdressing. From the moment models stepped off stage, I was there to capture the energy, artistry, and raw creativity that defines this industry. Long days, nonstop action, but the talent and passion on display made it all worth it. Massive respect to everyone involved — the hairdressers, stylists, models, and organisers — you absolutely raised the bar. Creativity was through the roof and I’m buzzing from the results. Here’s to the craft, the chaos, and the community. 💥✂📸 — Thank you @lee_smyth_ for the reel — #haircon2025 #haircon #hairphotography #hairphotographer #manchester #hairconvention #hairandbeautyshow #hairshows #hairdressing #photographer #manchesterphotographers #photographerlife #hairindustry
