For this beauty test shoot, I teamed up with Estée Lauder Pro Makeup Artist Anthony Frith, who I've worked with on several occasions during York Fashion Week, alongside models Semira, Grace and Soom.
We wanted to create a series of fresh, natural beauty portraits, working exclusively with Estée Lauder makeup to focus on glowing skin, soft definition and a clean, understated finish.
The makeup was kept fairly minimal, with warm tones, subtle eye makeup and glossy lips. Rather than creating anything too heavy or overly polished, the idea was to let each model's natural features, skin tones and textures come through.
I photographed the looks using soft, even lighting and a warm backdrop to keep the images consistent across all three models, while making sure the skin tones stayed true to each individual. I love photographing beauty, finding the balance between flattering lighting, considered retouching and keeping skin looking like skin.
Alongside the individual beauty portraits, we brought the three models together for a few group shots, experimenting with different compositions and creating something a little more relaxed and connected.
Take a look at some of our favourites from the shoot!
