Self Promo #2: Powder Explosion


For my second self promo, i wanted to go with another beauty shot to match the first one. I really wanted to show off the vibrancy and density of this eyeshadow by NYX. My younger sister, Taylor, was kind enough to model for me.

Self Promo #1: Heavy Metal


Last week we were assigned to shoot two self promos. Self promos are shots that can be of anything we want, however we want, as long as we keep it commercial. Since i really want to shoot beauty products and fashion, i went with a nail polish ad. Using my favorite bottle of Sonia Kashuk metallic nail polish, i spent about 4 hours just shooting alone in the studio. I played with different angles, placement and patterns of poured nail polish. I settled on this shot, because it really showed off the product and was very clean.
