Two large-scale dye transfer prints by Christopher Williams depict meticulously staged photographs of a professional hair designer, rendered with the artist's characteristic precision and attention to photographic craft. The works engage with the conventions of commercial and instructional photography, drawing on the visual language of professional trade publications. Through his exacting production process and detailed titling, Williams foregrounds the layers of labor, context, and mediation embedded within seemingly straightforward documentary images.
