Getting to know your photographer or capturing your inner beauty

Getting to know your photographer, or capturing your inner beauty

Creating a positive relationship

We passionately believe that there should be a positive relationship between the photographer and the subject.  With us, you will be dealing with the photographer from the moment you get into our studio and to the final selection of your photos.  This approach is what makes us different from other competitors when, quite often, you may not meet the photographer until the day booked for your photoshoot. 

For us, the art of getting to know you is just as important.  Our objective is not only to give you some lovely photographs but to make sure those images reflect the very best of your personality.  We can’t do this without getting to know your likes and dislikes and talking to you first, of course. 

Feeling good about yourself

The most successful photographers in the world make a point of establishing a relationship with their subjects.  We search for the best angle, the most appropriate light, the ideal environment for you, and so on. We also want to make sure you are feeling comfortable.  You need to look natural as there is nothing worse than a forced, stiff, pose.  We are around to direct you and make you feel natural, not to tell you what to do.

For example, one of the most important things is keeping you moving, making you feel relaxed to connect with you.  A successful photo shoot is almost like making a movie together; we direct and offer props. At the same time, you play up your role, and by so doing, you express your real personality, for long-lasting and natural images you’d always be proud of.

The alchemy between photographer and subject

The alchemy between the photographer and the subject must come out in the finished images.  At Robi’s Studio, we are with you all the way, capturing your interests and helping you select the best dress, accessories and hairstyle so that you will be delighted with the final results as well as the overall experience.

A critical success factor

Today we are talking about Quinceanera makeup. Along with the wardrobe and accessories, makeup is a critical factor in a photoshoot.

A poorly executed makeup can ruin your look; for this, we give so much importance. Quinceanera makeup is an elegant makeup that should highlight all the unique beauty of a young woman in her 15 years. Ideally, the teenager should look natural, beautiful, and never overburdened, highlighting her innate beauty.

Using the right color palette

Keep in mind that for photo sessions, the Quinceanera makeup is not the same as you would use for a party since we are using lighting equipment. For this reason, we must be cautious, for example, not to apply excessive shine or eye shadows or loud colors.

Our experts use high-quality products that guarantee the results and durability of the makeup during the photoshoot, starting with an application of the correct base, an illuminator, and then the most suitable tones for your skin. The outline of your eyes is fundamental, and we only use all the latest techniques to give more amplitude to your eyes and your gaze. Finally, your lips as they are the protagonists of all makeup so that it accentuated perfectly with the style of the dress.

Match your accessories too

If you are going to use very bright accessories, it is also essential to ensure that there are no exaggerated highlights, so we will have to adjust the makeup with more matte effects, for example.

Remember that you want to be proud of your looks when you will see your photos again, and our experts will work with you to ensure the success and timelessness of your photos.

For our sessions, we use different wardrobe changes, so the idea is to use neutral colors and only the lipstick match the color of the clothes.

What’s included in our Quinceanera makeup package:

  • Basic makeup and hairstyle
  • Option to hire the makeup artist throughout for color changes, touch-ups, and different hairstyles matching the wardrobe in use

To close, always remember that you do not have to be “in disguise” but tremendously beautiful!
