I have friends who have been specializing in beauty and makeup photography, and they are consistently busy with fun looking client work.
Since my 15yrs of shooting experience has been focused on a completely different photographic specialty (motorsports and automotive stuff), I figured I’d buy a new set of lights and lighting accessories so I could build up a beauty and makeup portfolio to diversify my client base.
As it turns out, shooting beauty/makeup is pretty fun! Who doesn’t want to shoot well-lit images of beautiful models?! Duh!
Here are some of my photos… I’ll keep updating this page as I build more relationships with beauty brands and makeup artists.
I’ll keep shooting and updating this page, so keep checking back!
Above is the lightly edited image. You won’t get those ridiculous Facetune-looking cartoony face edits that plague Instagram from me.
Below is the BEFORE IMAGE, as I shot it straight out of camera. Below, this is a crop of the JPG image, without any editing or retouching.
