Though I talked about the success of yesterday's photoshoot, I did not mention the issues I faced before hand. As a makeup artist, your role within the production of a photo shoot is relatively small.
You are so reliant on others to make your vision happen and sometimes that doesn't always go to plan.
The clothing the stylist had sourced for the shoot did not best reflect the vision of the shoot I thought I had clearly explained. I saw these clothes the day before the shoot and it was then that I decided the styling needed to be revisited. I could have gone ahead with the outfits we already had and used the experience as a test shoot, but I didn't want to waste time. Another model would be hard to source and I hadn't scheduled in a time for re-shooting.
So, I decided to go forth, to go out and buy some new clothes for the shoot which wound up being a couple of hours before the shoot. I was worried, when buying the new clothes, that they wouldn't fit the model but I preferred to take the risk than shoot in the originally sourced outfits. I simply trusted my instinct and vision and thankfully it paid off.
Altering the fashion was the right choice to make, the image outcomes would never have been so successful if I hadn't. By quick thinking and acting on changes, I have saved myself from hours of re-shooting.
