Beauty photoshoot – make-up makes the image!

This week I had the pleasure of Leanne James at the studio, shooting some tattoo shots, and some more ‘way out’ ones.  Just in case you don’t know who Leanne is, she graces the cover of the current edition of Skin Deep magazine.  She is with Spirit Model Management, an agency with a great range of interesting alternative models.

Shonagh Munday came along to provide her make-up and hair styling talents.  She is a really excellent stylist and make-up artist and lately she has been making a name for herself with her airbrush skills.  Using her exceptional skills the face becomes a canvas…with stunning results.  I guarantee you will be seeing a lot more of her work – check out her blog and you will see why I am so confident!
