Of all the DOTD series photographs I definitely like this one the most. The posture and pose that the model is holding is exquisite, I swear I fell in love with it at first site.

The composition of the model is very good. Did you personally do the make-up, or was someone else responsible for that?

All of the colours work very well together and I look forward to seeing more shots like this one.

Thanks!

I did all of the makeup on one of the girls (Jenna), and this model did all of the makeup for the two other girls. Then we shot the girl pictured here, Meleah, last. We both worked on her makeup so it was kind of a group effort. It was really my first time doing makeup for a shoot and it took as all hours to finish the hair and makeup on everybody. I thought I'd dig doing the makeup because I'm pretty decent with a paintbrush & canvas, but it ended up just totally frustrating me. Makeup is way harder to control and get smooth lines with (at least with the makeup & tools they had to apply it). It was still fun though :)

Well, that's good.

I have personally considered make-up artistry as a career that I could pursue, but I'm sticking more with the costume design side of things.
