#11: I Did an Underwater Shoot. Let's Talk About It.

Artist to Artist

Show Notes

I recently got hired to do a shoot for a book cover but on this cover, the model was going to be lying in a pool full of water.

In this episode I will talk to you about:

How I was contacted about the job

Rate negotiation

Set etiquette (what to wear, what to look out for on the job)

My favourite products for a waterproof makeup application (literally).

These shoots can be so fun, but so labour intensive.

Speed is a non-negotiable in this industry, but it doesn't mean sacrificing quality or cutting corners on hygiene. In this episode, I break down the myths self-taught and new makeup artists believe about working fast, share the moment I realized speed was actually a skill, and walk through the systems that let you work efficiently without ever putting client safety at risk.
