GET YOUR TICKETS HERE

On December 8th, 1 pm – 4:30 pm we are tackling Beauty Photography, and how to get this shot that makes a portfolio stand out. Yes, the famous macro shot of perfect skin and impeccably applied makeup. We would like to show you how it’s done!

➡️ First, it starts with a great makeup application.
➡️ You also need the right beauty model. 
➡️ Then, with good control of light and angles, you can take the shot.
➡️ Finally, knowing how to retouch, as subtly as possible, is key.

During this masterclass taking place on December 8th, 1-4:30pm in our new location FD Olympic, Alexa Tokich and Alaina Davenport are joining forces to help you master a holiday glam makeup application in order to create the perfect macro shot. Note: We will cover retouching during another workshop. 

For 3h30, beginners makeup artists and curious photographers will get to attend two different makeup applications, on two different skin tones, before being able to shoot the models one on one.
