Model, make up: Hilarie M.

Photo and editing: Me

 

We needed to shoot some close up, beauty type shots for her book.

 

This took me about 1.5-2 hours to edit and process. I tried the dodge and burn technique to smooth skin. it's way better (and cleaner) than just blurring skin and then adding noise afterword. this takes time but is far more satisfying IMO. Really makes me want to get a Wacom.
