I was booked for a shoot with John Hawkins last weekend. He had a concept in mind and communicated with everyone about his idea. Let me tell you: there is nothing that I love more than someone who communicates with me! It is so much easier when everyone is on the same page and have the same idea prior to coming to the shoot. I appreciate that very much! John was nothing short of that and I was relief. When I arrived, he had 2 settings set up. John is so precise and articulate that I knew instantly the photos would turn out amazing. Photoshop may be a wonderful thing for some people, but it is not a makeup artist's friend. The goal is to showcase the artist's work and sometimes, photoshop completely takes away from that. Well, I was so ecstatic when I saw John's work due to the minimum use of photoshop.
Our model Yasmin is a total sweetheart. I love her bubby and positive personality that she brought to the table. She was great at following directions and had the best smile! I am very happy with the results of our collaboration.
Towards the end of the shoot, John asked me to give his daughter a makeover since she really liked my work. I was more than happy to play some more with makeup. Janei is absolutely gorgeous, which makes my job pretty easy.
