Makeup

For me, small group and one-on-one makeup training is an intimate journey of discovery and empowerment. It's a personalized experience where I share my expertise, tailored to individual needs and skill levels. Together, we explore techniques, talk about ideal products and methods, and unlock each person's unique potential. It's a transformative process that not only enhances makeup skills but also fosters confidence and self-expression.

I love watching my clients achieve their makeup goals and become confident enough to explore and experiment!

Photo­graphy

I became a photographer out of the necessity of capturing my own works - and started with the most difficult thing possible, self-shooting photography, where I was both the model and behind the lens. I teach all the things I’ve learned, so that others can skip the trial-and-error.

For those who already have their photography, I also teach photo editing, cleaning up backgrounds, correcting skin and fabric, and colourizing to match the photo’s end use needs. I like to teach others how to engage with editing in a way that removes the intimidation factor of the vast editing programs like Photoshop.

Modelling

Many people feel uncomfortable in the focus of a lens, and my experience as a photographer and model has made me uniquely qualified to help others overcome this barrier.

I offer modelling courses and can provide comprehensive education to my photography subjects. My goals are to build skills, confidence, and teamwork so that we can capture the best images possible. I love to draw out the unique characters each person represents, and help them develop their modelling and documentation skills so that they can get the images they need when working with other photographers, too.
