Lumo Suicide in Cape Town
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Alternative on May 3, 2010
Cape Town’s “Southern Ink Xposure” tattoo convention brought an assortment of alternative inked models to the mother city, and we all know that there’s nothing quite so inspiring to photographers as a uniquely beautiful girl. Southern Ink Xposure was painfully timed to compete with the birthday weekend of yours truly, so alas there was not much model grabbing and photo taking on my behalf, but luckily one or two of the beauties stayed behind, and I was given the opportunity to work with a suicide girl and official suicide girl photographer. Lumo Suicide (the name of this particular Suicide Girl) asked me to curl her hair and make her look a mix of classically beautiful and interesting. The pink heart is obviously not present on the purchased set.

Looking Through the Window at Life
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Lingerie on September 17, 2009
This is a photograph extracted from Anton De Beer’s “Bridal Boudoir” series.
“Looking though the window at life. You look amazing to me” is the title given to this photograph by the model, Kira Wilkinson. Kira and I shared a chalet whilst touring Jo-Burg with Madame Zingara and when she finally returned back from the UK I felt privileged to finally work with her on a test. I really love the ambiance of this photograph, the lighting, the reflections in the glass and the neutral colour palette. I hope to work with this team again soon!

Pro Tip: When you’re applying your make-up with a “natural look” in mind – where you want to sulpt the face with colour (ie a light colour under the browbone) but without frosting or noticeable shimmer in mind use a non-reflective eye-shadow like MAC’s “brule” and then apply a colour like “shroom” (which is basically the same colour in a more reflective texture) in small doses under the arch of the brow or in-between the eyes or apply a dollop of “woodwinked” – (a veluxe pearl and especially shiny eye-shadow in a colour fairly neutral to people with tanned skin) to the center of the lids. Doing this helps to contour the face, draw attention to specific areas and sculpt the face — and the application of a non-shiny version of the colour first allows the eyeshadow to “dilute” making blending easier and turning the shimmer into “amazing” lighting or bone structure.
Colette – final
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Uncategorized on August 12, 2009
The final image, my personal favorite, from my first shoot with James Strack and Caroline Olvarrietta. For me, this is the show where Colette looks the most beautiful, and also a shot which utilizes the amazing “soft natural light” James created. It was a privilege to work with this great team.
James wanted to focus on texture and light, monopolizing the unique set he designed for the shoot which utilized strategic channels of natural light with the help of an accompany assistant and his board, so it was important for the make-up to look “soft” and “fuzzy” whilst still sculpting Colette’s face. By using Colette’s natural colour palette ( the colours in her hair and skin) I was able to keep this look “simple” and “uncomplicated”
Main Make-Up ingredients: Blending! I used MAC’s #224 brush to really “fuzz down” her shadow and enable me to apply shadow from very light… [ Read more ]
Colette

This was my first shoot with both James and Caroline. James asked me for “something neutral” keeping the colours to creams, browns and greys.
