This was another shoot that I was working on with the MUA Kristy Bowyer. Again, she did a great job with this shoot. At the beginning, all I knew about this shoot was that the title was 'Naughty vs Nice'. I did not know anything about what the looks were going to be, and the make-up, other than one model was to be a 'dark version' and the other was the 'brighter version' - sort of like heaven and hell.
Kristy takes care with her makeup and will not let the model shoot unless they were perfect for the idea she is trying to get across, and had to redo one of the make-up pieces as she wasn't completely happy.
The model for this shoot was Tammy King. This was her first studio shoot in a number of years, and was her first real fashion/beauty photoshoot. Tammy did an amazing job for her first professional photoshoot - her looks and emotions were perfect and she took direction very well (which I liked as you can get first-models who get a little nervous with their poses). Looking at her photos after the shoot, I only had a few weren't great (obviously with blinking) but overall the photos were really great and I'm very glad that I used her. As you can see in the photos below, her eyes are the brightest blue and are so beautiful that they work so well with beauty shoot as they're captivating and draw your attention to the beauty in the photographs.
The MUA on the shoot was also a model for the shoot, as she is an aspiring model, and the photos could be used for both her model and MUA portfolios. For a model with no modelling experience, Kristy did great. At first she was a little nervous as she hasn't been in front of the camera before, but they went away pretty quickly and her photos were great. The looks suited the concept of 'Nice', looking angelic.
The photographs for the shoot looked amazing and I am very pleased with how they turned out. Both the model and MUA love the photos, and they've had a great response already! I feel that I got the concept across in the photographs and made both models look beautiful. I'll definitely use both Tammy and Kristy again on my shoots, and I also have another photoshoot booked with both of these girls, which I'm incredibly excited for.
