Creative Beauty with Marissa

Wrapping up my creative beauty work this year at the Makeup Forever Academy in Soho, here is a very vibrant spectrum of colours by makeup artist Jen Evans.

It's always nice to have work like this in Photoshop when you are retouching and can give the colours a nice boost. I find it's best not to overdue any colour enhancements as the image can end up looking a bit garish especially with bright reds.

This was one of the last looks we experimented with. It's great to start a shoot with a look that requires more natural makeup and the some goes for the hair, it's easier to build up on the looks as we go along. Depending on the type of story we're shooting the last look can end up quite crazy and in this instance Marissa our model was invited to trash the makeup.

Fashion editorial with James Pitt

I had a afternoon out shooting at the gas works in Poole and around Bournemouth beach in England for my first male model shoot in some time. Model James was full of ideas and not afraid to jump over walls for the sake of creativity! Here are the first retouches from the shoot.
