The Manhattan Empire Beauty School students, with the help of current student and professional photographer Reggie Bryant, created some of their best work for their portfolio books.

Bryant photographed the work of current students and several alumni. Two students, Phoenix and Yvonne, began their own freelance hair and makeup company upon graduation called PAHNYK and they are building their books for that reason. Other students showcased their makeup and hair techniques for their own professional portfolios.
