headshots & professional branding
During the headshot makeup application, I carefully consider two factors:
The interplay of light and makeup. I ensure the application involves subtle contouring, highlighting, and eye definition to ensure you look your best on “set”.
The clean photo finish you see here is achieve through a careful balance and ensuring the makeup translates seemlessly to camera. I work in layers and this subtle look is the result.
