11th May
Work alongside top makeup designers, photographers and models to shoot new looks and build the portfolio that gets you booked. Perfect if you want to extend or update your professional portfolio.
Who is this course for?
Working alongside top makeup designers, photographers and models, this course is perfect for artists looking to extend or update their professional portfolio.
We encourage artists to become their own creative directors: understand how lighting affects the look, what works and what doesn’t through the lens, keeping to time and collaborating with the photographer.
The day was designed with professional photographer Graham Cann, whose work has been seen in Vogue and for many high-profile brands.
What you leave with
New images for your portfolio
What will I experience?
You will create two looks of your choice on a professional model, with guidance from photographer Graham Cann and our makeup designer.
Shoot with editorial photographer Graham Cann and our makeup designer.
Practise your looks with guidance from our professional makeup designer, then shoot them.
A professional model is provided for your shoot.
Leave with content for your channels as well as your portfolio.
How it works
You have 1.5 hours to create each makeup look. If you would like to include hair you have 2 hours; otherwise hair is styled off the face to keep the focus on the makeup.
Bring your own kit if you prefer to work with it. Guidance is on hand throughout from our makeup designer, and the photographer directs the shoot so every image is portfolio-ready.
