The benefits of a (mad) makeup artist...

Ok let me start by saying that I've known Julie Fox Pritchard for a long time (I think the first time we worked together was on Pam Fi, Duw? - about 13 years ago) and I've never been the same since. Julie is mad as a hatter. But she is also a makeup artist. A very, very good makeup artist. BBC-trained and BAFTA-nominated, having her with me during my shoots takes a load off my mind as I know that the person that I'm photographing will look fantastic, and that it'll take a big blunder on my part for them to look otherwise. Seriously, if you're looking to have headshots or portraits taken and if your budget can stretch to it, you really should consider getting a makeup artist involved. And that includes you men. As well as doing makeup for film and tv, Julie runs her own makeup and makeover business; take a look at her website at the following address: www.foxysfaceplace.co.uk.
The person I was photographing this day was Lucy Andrews, and what a brilliant shoot it was. Lucy wanted actors' headshots and also presenters' headshots. She also included a creative portrait session in the shoot, for those more edgy, alternative photos. Lucy was so professional, throwing herself into the session and taking direction extremely well. The range of looks was tremendous, and the variety of hairstyles that Julie came up with really helped achieve these. Here are some of my favourites from the shoot. Diolch Julie and Lucy!
