I am Koczka, master hairdresser

Artistic Director of Random Shooting Day. A lover of my profession for almost thirty years, I never stop and this project is one such initiative!

Eight years ago, I had a profound change in my life and because of it I went away for a weekend, disconnected from everyone and reflected on my life, what's good and what's bad, what I have and what I'm missing. I realised that I was a lucky man, because my work is my hobby and everything I do on a weekday is very good, with a 'cool' clientele, but one thing I was missing was creativity, living my creative self. So I decided to create a group of professionals who also wanted to do this. I wanted to have a system for this, and I thought of a long-standing musical project of two friends, Random Trip. Every Tuesday, musicians get together and make random music and something wonderful always comes out of it.

So, my idea is based on that! We shoot every Thursday and everything is completely random. It became a closed group with only professionals: two hundred of us: make-up artists, stylists, photographers, model agencies. Every Thursday, a series of photos is taken, with almost always a different team every week. It brings the profession together a little bit. My aim was to get the professionals to meet each other, get to know each other and create together. Everyone volunteers to come for free, for the love of the profession and of course to build a portfolio. The motto of the project: We follow dreams, not fashions!
