Welcome back to the last in this debut series of Beyond The Brush, although, as you'll hear, it was actually the first that we recorded!
Our final guest is multi-published photographer, Graham Cann, who specialises in fashion, beauty, editorial and commercial work.  Working in a mixture of analogue and digital imagery, he’s as comfortable on location as he is in a studio – and in fact he’s often found shooting bodypaint at exhibitions and shows.

Jennie and Emma headed to meet Graham in his studio, The Glass Factory, the largest daylight and commercial photographic and film in Essex and find out about a boy from South London with a background in construction got into the photography game.

This week’s guest is Global Head of Makeup at professional giants, Kryolan. British artist Paul Merchant is that rare creature who is a master at everything he turns his hand to.  From education to live TV, theatre to Fashion Weeks, bodypainting to cosmetic camouflage, Paul’s self-taught style breaks down barriers and his natural ease make him one of most in-demand artists working today.  

Cheekily dubbed a frequent flyer, Paul’s punishing schedule is not for the faint-hearted and his work frequently sees him crossing continents. On top of this he edits Make-up International Magazine, produced by Kryolan, and during Covid he and the team have turned their hands to online workshops and Live streaming.  Is there nothing he can’t do?

We find out about his start in the industry and why performance will always be close to his heart.

We catch up with her to chat about her extraordinary life and those who have inspired her – and learn many great tips and advice for you too.
