A recap in motion of the previous post. I shared this on social media and thought it might be nice to have it here too.

From time to time I like to go through my archive and look at images with a new pair of eyes. It’s as if time creates the distance necessary to look at the same images from a different perspective. My view is not narrowed to what I was trying to visually achieve on that day, but open to a potential story to emerge.
These are outtakes from this outdoor beauty and lifestyle shoot done a year ago. Same shoot yet a different mood and aesthetic. The grainy black and white edit matches well the overcast sky and rocky shore, creating a distinctive vibe.
I remember that I didn’t expect too much from these shots at the beginning of the shoot. The weather and light were less than ideal. And I considered it a warm-up before getting to the intended shots.
Yet, here they are, unearthed, telling a new story, simple and raw.

I was introduced to beauty photography after collaborating several times with makeup artist Nichole Lee. My main body of work was food and still-life then. As I wanted to broaden my photographic work and challenge myself, I initiated some creative portrait shoots. Those helped me getting acquainted to photograph people.
And from there we started to shoot beauty. I had no idea what I was stepping into and it’s been a learning curve specially with retouching. I kept at it and have developed now a body of work I like and want to grow.
This is one of the first beauty shoots we did. The face of the model, Georgia, was so fitting for the different looks developed around the theme: Warm | Glowing | Dreamy.
The warmth was a constant through all the looks with natural, earthy tones. Glowing was interpreted as a subtle luminous and radiant look throughout. And dreamy was created with the use and play of a veil and bubbles on some of the looks.
Some of these shots have been featured online on Fen Hong Se magazine.
