Make Up Tips for Senior Portraits

Sure you are young and beautiful but everyone can benefit from proper make up for portraits. Many people tell me that they like the natural look but I can guarantee you that even those people will be thankful that they made a little effort to slightly "improve" on nature. After all, poop is natural but it doesn't look good in a picture. But seriously, I recommend that you consider the make up suggestions in this chart, you will look better and your portraits will look better too, and most importantly everyone will say you look terrific! If I ever get around to posting my portrait in the "my profile" area, you will agree that a little make up and retouching can do wonders even for an old poop.

Fantastic Modeling Opportunity

We are still in the process of selecting our models to help us create new and exciting looks and sets for the 2008 senior season. We will be having an open call in a couple weeks (exact date to be announced soon) . This will involve coming to the studio, (we are located on Middle Ridge Road in Amherst) and completing a short interview with our style consultant. We will then take 3 or 4 images of you for selection purposes. We will be giving you small jpeg files of these portraits for your own use just for coming in. We are looking for 8 juniors to model for us. The actual sessions will be in late March or early April. We want to work with a stylist and make up person and hope to make arrangements with a local clothing store to have some cool outfits available. The sessions will consist of about 2 hours in studio and 2 hours on location in the Amherst area. We will be paying our models $50 for their services. The open call is for any interested junior. No experience is necessary and we are not necessarily looking for just the "best looking people". Personality and poise will have a lot to do with our selection. Email me back if you would like us to contact you for an interview time during the open call.
If you have further questions feel free to ask. Write or call 984-2227. My wife Melanie or Denny our production person will be glad to assist you.

My Best to you. Bill VanCuran, owner, The Gallery at Lantern Hill
