Collaboration
Lately I've been working with a great make-up artist (MUA) turned model. Let me tell you for someone who never modeled before does not have a problem taking direction and nails it every time. As great she is as a model she's an even greater MUA. I first met her during one of the Photowalk: Michigan group events, and she was one of the models that came out. I was the first to shoot her and she introduced herself as Tiffany (facebook) (instagram). We hit it off right off the back. We made the whole thing fun with no problems at all, as she was an empty canvas open to your ideas that one has.
Some time passed since that day, soon we connected again for an idea that I had for a while and she was down for it. No complaints or anything. We met in Farmington and shot at the Farmington Civic Theater. These shots come out wonderful I had no complaints at all.
A few weeks and I contacted Tiffany to makeup for my brother's girlfriend Taylor, who want to get into modeling. Without any problems she came thru and helped me out. As the makeup was perfect, it was lite and natural. Tiffany has skills with the brush.
With this I hope there is plenty of more work in the future between the two of us. This collaboration continues to bring positive energy. Head on over to Tiffany's Instagram and Facebook to more of her work. She also does some sweet special effect makeup as well.
Photofocus/Perfectly Clear Photo Walk
Last week Perfectly Clear and Photofocus hosted a Portrait practice with speedlights in Farmington, MI, it was lead by photographer Levi Sim. In beginning I won the Pefectly Clear plugin for photoshop. While there I met up with a few photographers from the photo walk group, George, Chamira, and DeAndra. In the beginning I wasn't feeling any inspiration from anything til we got the theater that was up the street from where were.
“There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.”
“I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
