Why Photographers Need Makeup Knowledge
Many talented photographers struggle because they don't understand how makeup interacts with their lighting and camera settings. This knowledge gap limits their ability to direct shoots effectively and create the polished results clients expect.
Our program addresses this by teaching the technical aspects of makeup that directly impact photography—not making you a makeup artist, but giving you the vocabulary and understanding to collaborate professionally.
