Beauty-full Days
I spent the last two days holed up inside Smashbox Studios shooting the most AMAZING photos with one of my favorite beauty photographers in the world, Donna Trope. I’ve always adored Donna’s sensibility, her photos are arresting and sometimes totally bizarre—in the very best way. The worlds she creates are razor sharp, slightly skewed and you can’t help but be totally drawn into them. Donna has such a unique eye and her view of the world is completely and totally her own. To me, that’s the mark of a true artist.
As a makeup artist I’ve been so inspired by her work that I can’t begin to describe how exciting it was to finally get to collaborate with her. I had so much fun I forgot it was supposed to be considered work!
I can’t wait to post the finished photos but sadly they won’t be out until May 2010. Until then, here are some of my behind the scenes moments and a link to Donna’s incredible book Beauty Shots. If you don’t already know her work check it out, it really is fantastic!
