Free hair and makeup...

On Sunday Nafeesah's hairstylist asked her to participate in a photoshoot for a hair magazine and all she had to do was show up. She got her hair washed and styled, and there was a makeup artist there to prepare them for the shoot as well.

Now my baby's not one to wear much, if any makeup on a regular basis other than some lipstick/gloss, so I had to snap a few shots when she got here... Here's my favorite...



Keep in mind this was just a quick snap, taken in my hallway with bad lighting... Shot with the D2hs, the Beast (Nikon 28-70) and an SB-800. Comments always welcome.

 

Thanks Joshua and John!! You know what's funny, I hit the color effects button on Smugmug and the photo was converted to black and white...here's the version that should have been posted...

 

Thank you Mike. Believe it or not, the flare you speak of is actually gold eyeshadow which was brought out a bit by the flash. You're also correct about the flash - bounced w/diffuser... Good call.

Here's another one...

 

I appreciate the feedback Mike! I wish I would have had the octabox for my AB800 on Sunday...I would have loved to take some shots using that instead of the SB... The hairstyle didn't make it through the night, but there will be many other opportunities to photograph her. :biggrin:

 

Thanks alot Joshua. I hit that option by mistake - after I had posted the color version...

 

Thanks Dude!! Yeah, I made the mistake after uploading, but I've corrected it. I just uploaded it again... :biggrin: I like them both, and there were only two other pics...but I didn't like them too much - one was a shot of the back of her head.

 

Thanks Roy!! Something from the shoot is definitely going into a hair mag, not sure which one, but when it comes out, I'll probably have to buy a few hundred copies... LOL

I appreciate that Frits!! Thank you!

Thanks Fred!! I really like her hair, whether it's styled or just "out". The only problem with the styles is that they're twisted so tight that it hurts her head... I can't wait to start using the AB/octabox!!!
