Weddings Magazine Makeup Shoot

Last year Weddings Magazine approached us about an open slot for advertising in their publication -- which so happens to be one of the largest distributed and longest running wedding publications in this area. They offered us a discounted deal if we would photograph before and after shots for some makeup artists featured in the magazine. We agreed to it and setup a shoot a few months later. The photoshoot was to be done at an upscale club house where we were given a tight hallway to work with. The photos had to be half body shots displaying dress details, makeup, hair, and jewelry.

This is actually a joint project now as Sahid Limon, who was working with me back then, took the pictures as I assisted with lighting. Then, I was responsible for post-processing and creative development to get the photos ready for printing. Below are some of my favorite "After" shots showing all the girls fully prepared. I've shown the unedited image as it was captured by Sahid Limon and then how I processed it.
