Once upon a photo shoot

Last fall I worked as the makeup artist for one of my favorite photographers Chelsea Wilde on her project Grimm Fairy Tales.  Unfortunately her house sold quite unexpectedly and she was whisked away to California, so we weren’t able to finish all the characters, but here are two that made the cut. 


Snow white
My personal favorite.  The model’s fair skin tone was perfect for the look



Red Riding Hood  
The lighting could not have been better.  

Do you like how the makeup turned out?  Notice how the lip color reflects the shade of the hood on Red.  & Snow White's reflects the color of the apples.  I usually prefer juxtaposition, but in this case, the matching tones give the images a cohesiveness that feels appropriate.
