A project I had been looking to do for a while was a set of beauty images with the help of a make up artist, I’d long been an admirer of those lovely clean images and looked out for the people to try and make it work. A few months before I had worked with a Polish model Marlena Ziolkowska at a group shoot we had arranged up in Newcastle, she is a cracking fashion model, great hair and a lovely look, once she had agreed to do the shoot I felt I was half way there. Julie Ann Pattinson was someone I had chatted to for a while and we had talked about doing something of this nature for our portfolios. Big problem with Julie is she is so bloody busy!! Trying to find a time when we could all get together was bit of a mare, but I’m glad we persevered and we eventually got it all sorted. I’m so glad we did, Julie is a fantastic make up artist, a real gem, she also made a great contribution to the styling of the images and made me realise just how important the make up artists role is in the whole process. It was a long but very enjoyable day, my main job was to rush around, provide drinks and make the odd sandwhich whilst the others did their thing!! I did take the odd image though in between all the important stuff!!
