Creative makeup photography session

I had the pleasure of working with Debbie Summerfield, a fantastic makeup artist, armed with some lights, reflectors, various light modifiers I captured the images above, the session was a lot of fun and I won a gold award from one of the images from the session, you will find it either below on the blog or in the archive section.  These are a couple of Debbie's favorite images.

Debbie is a very talented makeup artist and destined for greatness!

Life has been very hectic on the run up to the dance show, I have been working hard on their programme and took photographs over the weekend of the students in their costumes during their dress rehearsals, it is going to look spectacular on the stage, very well done to Lorraine, Andy and Dawn for putting together such as fabulous show.
