HAIR & MAKEUP

 

Please make sure you have clean hair and skin when you arrive. 

Your hair should be freshly shampooed and conditioned before each job.  Bring combs, brushes, curling irons, hair spray, etc. that you normally use for touch ups to each job.  Avoid last minute perms or haircuts just before a job unless told to do so.  Longer hair is preferred on female models as this is more versatile, but there are always exceptions.

The first thing you must learn is that photography makeup is not the same as your everyday makeup You must understand that makeup must be applied according to the nature of the desired picture, the type of film that will be used, and the type of lighting used, etc.

A Hair & Makeup artist is not included in my prices but can be supplied at extra cost. Please let me know in advance if you require me to book them.

 

Hint:

Try looking in some fashion magazines for different hair styles, experiment  with them and see what looks suit you, then practice putting your hair into that style.

 

 

Remember

Makeup for B&W Photography, needs to be darker and stronger than for colour so bring darker makeup if you are wanting B&W photos taken
