Skin Beauty Shoot

For this shoot, I wanted to focus on body and skin images. Numerous beauty products are skin-care related. So, being able to shoot skin aesthetically is essential to being a well-rounded beauty photographer.

We booked Ali from MC2 for this shoot and it went just as I’d hoped. We started with a very diffused white background. This lighting tends to wrap around the model, which works nicely for body shots. Photo 1 is the best from that series. Next, we moved in a black background and did a series of shots with water falling. I always enjoy shooting water because each model reacts to it differently and the compositions are spontaneous. Ali’s enthusiasm was excellent and like the shoot with Masha, we ended up with a number of quality images to choose from.

    Nice, Donnie. Totally love the two backgrounds and how they contribute to the image. The water must be a fascinating element. I love seeing the beads of water suspended in the air and the gloss and texture it adds to the skin.
