Beauty Photography

Beauty photography

“Dear students, we have reached the end of our course and it is time to share your homework and project. The final project is to make a photo production with a light source, it can be a natural or artificial light source. With what we saw during the course you will have the necessary resources to use the light you have at your fingertips. Having seen the different possibilities we have when it comes to photographing beauty portrait, I want you not to feel limited to doing a project equal to mine. Let yourself be carried away by creativity and seek to show your own point of view, taking into account what inspires you to do this kind of portrait. If you still do not feel prepared to make an entire brief alone, I took into account the artistic vision of your team, I asked for an opinion and you can even meet to discuss ideas. Reach an agreement where everyone can express themselves and make beautiful images that serve their portfolios! If you still do not feel ready to speak with modeling agencies asking for collaboration, you can call a friend who is willing to pose for your tasks and final project. Although it is not at all difficult to go by the side of an agency! You only need to send emails consulting about models that are just beginning and need to generate material, tell them a little about the project and tell them that the images obtained will be used to nourish the portfolio of each of the members of the production. It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but it is a very normal practice in the industry, so I recommend that you encourage yourself to do so! There is nothing wrong with not having much material to show and we all start that way, do not be demotivated if some agencies choose not to work with you at the beginning, when you have more material to show you surely want to have your photographs. When setting the light and start photographing, do not feel pressure to have everything ready for the model to start posing, take your time to determine the position of the light, evaluate the lights and shadows, try to fill in or not shadows and have the makeup and hairstyle ready and neat. Once we are happy with our setting, we can start working quietly. When you upload the results of the tasks, I am interested in exporting your files with the settings assigned for network or web photos. Also do so by specifying the shot parameters, that is, including iso / diaphragm / shutter information and focal length. You can also upload the original files before digital retouching, to compare before and after the images obtained. I hope that the information in this course has helped you to start making your own beauty portrait productions, it can be a lot to take into account at the beginning. As you practice you will see how all these issues begin to be much more natural and you will begin to find the workflow that best suits you. In the lessons of my influences I placed special emphasis on the importance of perseverance and motivation, it can be a long way to improve and search for our style, the important thing is to enjoy the process and gradually polish our technique. I will be available in the forum of our course to answer your questions and review your tasks and projects. I will do my best to answer you as soon as possible, I may not do so immediately if I am not available at that time, but I will surely check your posts and answer them! You can also see the other projects of students and comment on them in a constructive way to be able to build feedback that helps the evolution of our path in photography. We have reached the end of our course and the beginning of our journey in beauty photography, I hope I have been able to share with you what is my passion and commitment to this beautiful art. See you on the forum! Many successes! Nicolas ”
