For long-duration commercial shoots, I use specific silicone-based primers and matte finishers that prevent shine under studio strobes, while ensuring hair styling remains consistent throughout an 8-hour shift without needing constant resets. When working on fashion editorials or commercial campaigns, the goal of grooming is to enhance the visual narrative without overpowering it. Whether it is a clean, natural look for an e-commerce catalogue or an avant-garde style for a designer lookbook, my work is about technical consistency. ### Skin Prep & Camera Readiness In high-resolution photography and 4K video, skin texture is everything. I prioritize hydration and lightweight, high-definition foundations that neutralize redness without looking like heavy makeup. For outdoor campaigns, such as those set on the Mumbai coastline, I adapt the prep to handle environmental factors like humidity and wind, ensuring the model looks polished regardless of the setting. ### Hair Styling for the Set I don’t just style hair; I engineer it to last. For campaigns that require continuous movement or long days on set, I select hold products that provide structure while allowing for natural flow. If the brief calls for structured, wet-look hair or precise, architectural shapes, I use heavy-hold gels and setting sprays that maintain definition under harsh lighting. ### Why On-Set Monitoring Matters Being on set isn't just about the initial application. I actively monitor the talent on the tethered monitor during the shoot. As lighting shifts—from bright studio strobes to moody, low-light environments—I make micro-adjustments to powder, skin texture, and hair placement. This level of detail reduces the post-production work for photographers and editors, ensuring the final images require minimal retouching. ### My Scope - **Editorial:** Experimental textures, wet looks, and avant-garde grooming concepts. - **Commercial:** Clean, timeless, and masculine grooming for brand campaigns. - **Campaign Consistency:** Continuous presence for look changes and touch-ups throughout the day. ## About Deepti Soste I’m Deepti Soste.
