About 6 months ago, I began planning to relocate to Europe. The plan was successful and now I'm here in Amsterdam.
The art scene is incredible. They are desperate for good make up artists and hairstylists. I have several shoots lined up already as well as a job at the most famous salon - Rob Peetoom. I'll also be attending their academy for hair stylists.
I had a shoot yesterday/today for a short film for a fashion design student in Utrecht. The photographer/videographer is going out of town for the next few weeks but I'm looking forward to seeing the cut.
May 20 - Demolished building shoot - inspiration is here: http://hakanphotography.com/series/dream/
May 21 - pin up shoot 2 models.
Any advice or suggestions welcome!!

One of my close friends, as well as her photographer friend and I got together one night in Jan. with a bottle of wine, and some paint and created this:

the girl in the picture is my friend, who is also a graphic designer and into lighting,
i did the hair - the paint was a collaboration ;)
that lead to us setting up shoots up almost every Friday with friends and models for the next 4 months. we started to do a week of research before every shoot, deciding a theme, planning our lighting, coloring, location, set, wardrobe, finding models - as well as designing make up and hair

The last project I posted about here beautyfinish.livejournal.com/2009/01/20/
lead to a lot more paid work. I ended up working every Select Models shoot up until the beginning of April.
I must say as free lance a make up artist/hairstylist these kinds of events are definitely the way to go.
Not only did I get to travel, and get paid for it... but i received some excellent pictures for my portfolio

Hey lovely ladies (and gents)
So yesterday was the big estate shoot and it went really well! They loved my work. The images have just started pouring in.
Thanks for your concealer recommendation btw! I got the make up forever camouflauge palette and it worked for everyone there!

Experimenting with different colors and styles is fun and teaches us what we can pull off and what we cant.
Here are some Random FOTD's from the past month. Enjoy!

Recently - a friend of mine was feeling frustrated with her hair. She felt she couldn't do anything with it and needed a change. I was up for the challenge!
