I've done a few projects with Amanda now and I can safely say she's one of the sweetest, most talented people I've had the pleasure of shooting! I wanted to shoot her head shots on film to create an ethereal effect; something her agent will hopefully be a fan of!
Not only is she a model, but she's also an artist, amazing singer with Bjorn and the Sun, and photographer.
I did her makeup and hair for this look, and then we went out and I shot her around Los Feliz. We focused on glowing, dewy skin and a fresh-faced look. I really liked how these turned out because they're a little offbeat for head shots, which I think meshes well with her overall personality: quirky, down-to-earth and independent.
MAKEUP
Makeup Forever HD Foundation, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla, LORAC Pro Palette (focusing on the pale shades and the grey-brown for eyebrows), Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Dazzled, NARS highlighter in Albatross, LORAC Alter Ego Lipstick in Duchess, Stila Lip Glaze in Vanilla.
HAIR
Amanda has great natural waves, so I just enhanced them with a bit of Tresemmé Fresh Start Renewing Dry Shampoo and Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray (definitely, 100% the most amazing-smelling product ever), scrunching, scruffing, and twisting random sections with a flat iron.
Thanks Amanda!
