Photography For Makeup Artists 

The beauty industry is rapidly changing and evolving. Roles in beauty are shifting and molding in very unexpected ways. A fast-emerging trend is makeup artists operating behind the lens who are making major waves with this synergistic approach to beauty. Danessa Myricks has embraced this synergy wholeheartedly creating breath taking images for both herself and her clients and now she wants to show you how to do the same things too!

An Introduction - Seeing The World of Beauty Behind The Lens 

I didn’t start out wanting to be a photographer. I really just wanted to be able to take photos of my own work  to critique my makeup skills & build up my confidence as an artist. I was looking to create more content to help build a following & attract more clients. What I didn’t know is that learning photography would change my life and career forever ! I hope it does the same for you!

Danessa found a way to make shooting easy to understand by approaching it in the same way she approaches makeup.  She realized learning photography concepts and set ups using makeup artistry concepts and terms made shooting so much easier to understand and so much more fun!
