Greg Couzens worked on Sam Park photoshoot

Greg Couzens styled model Sam Park's hair for a photo shoot at an 18th century building in Ogden, Newhey.

Sam, 29, wore an 18th century dress, from The Royal Exchange Theatre costume department, to fit in with the period building, which was built in 1710.

The Shippon in Ogden is a unique conversion of an old farm building that was renovated during the 1970s by Simon Roberts’ mother. The Shippon became an Arts, Crafts and Gift Centre, plus tea-rooms, which still retained all the original features. The Centre closed in 2005 and is currently not in use.

Greg said: “It was really enjoyable, but challenging.

"The hair was a 1700s style and they wore a lot of wigs then. I didn’t want to use a wig, as anyone can do that, so we used a lot of colour-matched hair extensions.

“The setting was this beautiful building, and ‘demure’ was the word of the day for the model, which just summed it up.”
