Over the years I have worked with many make up artists, some on a regular basis maybe once or twice a year as they are very busy working on paid jobs such as weddings between April and October especially. As I was looking through an index of this years shoots I noticed I have worked with Olga Barassi four times this year and once at the end of last year which was the first time we met.
The first shoot with with Shanielle Richardson from West Bromwich via Anguilla was a standard beauty shoot shot in my studio.
Our second shoot was a Asian Bridal with Sonia a part time model based in Solihul I used a large softbox as the main light with a smaller beauty dish as fill in and speedlight on the background. For the third and fourth images I had Sonia lying down on red bedspread lit from above with Octabox softbox and reflectors.
Shoot number three was meant to concentrate on the eyes and a simple hairstyle with artificial flowers attached to the model Zara, again the lighting was mainly one light on the model with reflectors, the white background image blown out with speedlites and post processing with Photoshop and Alien Skin Exposure.
Our fourth shoot was with the lovely Flavia as pin up inspired with the make up being typical of the genre and the models hair done in victory rolls. First three images were shot in natural light with reflectors to fill in where needed.
The final shoot was a wet beauty shoot with Karel who I previously shot with 2011, using a kiddies paddling pool which I lined with black polythene and lit with a single speedlite with a beauty dish attachment as using electricity was definite no-no as electricy and water do not mix, the first image was shot before Karel got into the pool, the second and third while in it and the last was just before she dried up.
