Photoshoot: Iyabo and Tal
Posted under: Uncategorized
This past monday, I worked with Demetress Valentine, an MUA with T.H.E. I had been admiring Demetress’ work for a while and was quite excited to finally work together with her. We got together to shoot some pics for Demetress’ website with two models, Iyabo and Tal. I’ve worked with Iyabo a couple times previously. Tal is a model with T.H.E. and is looking to get back into modelling after 2 year hiatus. This first set of photos are more of the natural clean beauty look. We also worked on a more high fashion look which will be included in a following post.

We started the shoot with Iyabo.
After the simple sensual shots, Iyabo pulled off some fierce looks and expressions.
For the last shots of the set, Iyabo was pulling hairs to get the more intense expressions.
Here is one more with Tal.
With all these shots, Demetress provided such flawless make up which made everything just go so smoothly for the shoot.
I used two lights for this set of photos. I had an AB800 with a DIY background throw (more on this in another post) pointed at the back of the model to get the subtle gradient on the background as well as the highlights on the edges of the chin/ear/lips (most noticeable on Iyabo). For the main light I used a gridded beauty dish. However I covered the beauty dish witha diffusing cover from my soft lighter II to get an even softer focused light to avoid shinny skin.
Watch this space for the high fashion pics of Tal from the same shoot.
