Photography for Makeup Artists

An introduction to seeing the world of beauty behind the lens

I didn’t start out wanting to be a photographer. I really just wanted to be able to take photos of my own work  to critique my makeup skills & build up my confidence as an artist. I was looking to create more content to help build a following & attract more clients. What I didn’t know is that learning photography would change my life and career forever ! I hope it does the same for you!

Danessa found a way to make shooting easy to understand by approaching it in the same way she approaches makeup.  She realized learning photography concepts and set ups using makeup artistry concepts and terms made shooting so much easier to understand and so much more fun!
