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!!

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
you can see more here www.beautyfinish.com
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

( Before and After )

When I was starting to get into doing make up (my own and my friends) - I became a part of online communities that showed off different Eyes of the Day (EOTD) or Face of the Day (FOTD). The feedback that I found there was priceless and it was nice having anonymous constructive criticism. All you need is your make up, a camera, a little time and an open mind.
Make sure you pay attention to the products that you use, liked and disliked, and which colors worked with each other. Play and make it work for you.

"I would like you to imagine your future as if a little movie this month. You are the director of this movie, so you can make it just the way you please. If you can SEE your future in great detail, you can make it happen." - Susan Miller www.astrologyzone.com
If I were to be a part of a movie - instead of being the star - I'd do his/her make up and hair.
I have been doing hair and make up since I was 14 years old. I took Cosmetology through high school and graduated with my license in 2001. Since then I've worked at high end salons all through Miami Florida. Currently, my journey has brought me to Los Angeles California where I continue to book photoshoots and embrace my passion.
