Creative Hair Anime Photoshoot

As part of my university course, we had to create a creative hair shoot. We had to create our own creative hair piece, do the makeup, and incorporate body painting within the look.

I chose to create an anime inspired shoot with blue and green confection like hair, big anime eyes, with laced up gloves and necklace for the body painting.

The model that I used was  Chynna Retumban, and the photographer was Martin Beaumont. This was a very challenging photoshoot as the look had so much elements to it and the process of creating the whole look took a lot of time and effor. However I was very happy with the outcome of the shoot and I am thoroughly happy with the photographs.



Black Geisha Photoshoot

As part of my University course, I organised my own photoshoot with my own ideas. One of my photoshoot ideas was to create a geisha inspired photoshoot but using two black models instead of using Asian models. I feel that it is defying what is customary to what a geisha's look is and what is should be, thus my reasoning for using black models instead.

The photographer that I used is Abyadh Othman who has her own blog: http://abyoth.blogspot.co.uk/ And the models that I used were Yann Kimpouni and Seddie Makwinja. I felt that it was very integral for me to explore on creating looks on varying skin tones as it would show that my makeup skills range to all different skin colours.

Beauty Photoshoot

Here are some images on  a beauty shoot that I have recently worked on with photographer, Chloe Dunn and J'adore models, Jazmine Darson and Rae Dos Remedios.

There were a few makeup styles that were done for the shoot such as a nude makeup with red lips, a smokey eye with nude lips, amongst others. I feel that the images were really strong and it was really great working on two different models for the shoot as I had to work on my time management skills with getting both the models makeup done on time, and changed over for the second makeup look.
