I had the opportunity of working with model Tracy two weeks ago on this shoot. The inspiration from it came from Tracy to make her into a bit of a quirky Clockwork Orange type of character. We enlisted the help of make up artist Andie and hair stylist Ana Luisa to make this transformation take place. Tracy said that she never thought that she would be good at glamour and fashion but I beg to differ. The whole team did an incredible job and we all had lots of fun. Ana Luisa had put on some crazy hair extensions on Tracy and I am a big into backlighting hair or at least using a hair light for separation of the subject from the background. I tried a bare bulb flash behind Tracy but eventually found a pink gel that really made the shot more interesting and really enhances the look for the last two shots.

What fantastic photography!
I really like the effect of the pink gel- it almost looks like she has pink hair in some places, and you're right, the backlight is really effective to differentiate the hair from the background.
Great to meet you at the art event on Saturday at Grace Mansion! :D
