Never underestimate the value of a good make up artist. Many photographers behave as if they have been stuck with a younger sibling for the day. When all they want is to go out and play. But make up is so much more than just a lick of paint.
Yes the application of make up will enhance the look of any young women, but it is so much more than this. As a model sees the look they are trying to achieve develop, she begins to feel glamorous. She feels pampered and special, her confidence begins to grow.
By the time she is ready for the shoot the hardest part of your work is done. If you are ready with your camera and can take control of the lighting, you are well on your way toward a successful shoot.
Never forget to credit the make up artist for her part in the shoot. If you are paying her fine, but don’t be slow in giving her a copy of your best shot of the day. If you put your name on the bottom of the picture and she adds it to her portfolio, many other potential models will see your work.
Also add a sample of her work on your web site along with a link to her site. Then ask her to do the same for you, it builds traffic for both of you.
