One of several aspects I love about my job, is doing portfolio photoshoots. In the world of a working model in New York, agencies and bookers rely on good photography and grooming for their talent. This is where I come in to work my touch providing makeup and hair. Very often models get booked for jobs and do not always get images from their clients, it happens. For paid jobs, clients are not bound to give models photos so here comes the question, how do the models update their portfolios? By booking portfolio shoots! Whether it is fashion, lifestyle or beauty, models and talent rely on images to get them booked on specific jobs (just like me). The same goes for me, so many jobs I have done over the years, and sometimes I don’t get to keep or use any of the images.

I am showing off images from the work I’ve done with Liza Boone over the course of 2019. We’ve been working together collaborating and it’s been amazing. Liza has a great eye for styling and working with beautiful natural light. In all these instances I did the hair and makeup for all these lovely models. I chose my favorite images from the shoots, bear in mind we shoot at least four looks each time and different moods and locations.
