About Indian Wear Campaign Shoots
When shooting Indian wear, the makeup must balance the intensity of heavy embroidery and vibrant fabrics without overpowering the garment. My approach centers on editorial-grade, long-wear bases that maintain skin clarity under studio lighting, ensuring the textures of your collection remain the focal point while the model looks polished and natural.
For campaign shoots, the makeup needs to work with the lens, not just the eye. My background in editorial and high-fashion photography informs how I prepare skin and apply color.
Lighting and Texture Indian wear often involves intricate beadwork, zari, and varied color palettes. I prioritize skin finishes, typically a dewy or satin base, that do not compete with the fabric's luster. I use products from brands like NARS and Charlotte Tilbury to ensure the makeup withstands long hours on set, whether we are shooting in controlled studio conditions or natural, high-heat locations.
Collaboration on Set I view makeup as part of the styling process. I coordinate with photographers and stylists to understand the mood board, whether we are aiming for a moody, festive aesthetic or a clean, minimal editorial look. I am experienced with men's grooming as well, ensuring consistency across couple-based Indian wear campaigns.
Technical Precision
- Skin Prep: I use professional CTM routines with Embryolisse or Clinique to ensure a smooth canvas.
- Foundation: I utilize HD fluid foundations that provide coverage without looking cakey under close-up shots.
- Detailing: Whether it is a sharp liner or a soft, smudged eye for a vintage feel, my application is precise and designed to be photogenic.
My work is focused on creating a cohesive visual narrative where the makeup enhances the identity of the brand and the aesthetic of the clothes.
