After working with Kate Davis, on photoshoot 2 (Lolita Photoshoot) I have been asked to work again on another shoot this time one she is running rather than assisting on.
The concept of the idea is to bring more feminine make-up styles into a masculine environment. The shoot has a particularly 'fetishy' feel to it, which is something that could be deemed quite controversial but also very eye-catching, allowing my work to stand out more, and contrasting my beauty work which makes up the majority of my portfolio at present.
The hair and make-up ideas Kate has are very open minded, and this allows me to design and 'play' with make-up as much as possible on request. I am looking to use some dark colours placed on the lips, eyes and also used in contouring at different times within the shoot to create the punk based style she is looking for in the make-up.
The shoot itself worked exceptionally well, and as this was the first male shoot I have done, I found it a good learning curve for myself as well as good portfolio development. The model had never worn make-up therefore applying eyeliner and mascara did take slightly longer and required a lot more confidence and reassurance than a confident model. The applications worked well and the model was happy. Working with Natalie in a team worked really well also with us splitting the shoots in half, claiming half the images as our own images, and being available for assisting elsewhere.
Below are two images Kate has edited from the shoot, with more available after post production - please note Natalie completed the make-ups below.
