Aumnie Athletics

Finally got some of the advertising pics used by Aumnie Athletics in Shanghai. Some of you may remember this was literally the last shoot I did before I left Shanghai so it's nice to finally get a few of the pics. I think they're good lifestyle/advertising pics. Nothing crazy of course just good solid clean makeup.

A lot of times newbie MUAs tend to forget that clean makeup and advertising campaigns are what pay the bills at the end of the day not gluing rhinestones and gold leaf on model's faces. It's important to build a strong commercial book b/c that's what a lot of clients like to see when they go to hire you. Sometimes that really wild stuff might even scare them off a bit if you don't have the clean stuff to show too. So even though it's not the most exciting stuff in the world there is a skill in learning how to pull back and just accentuate the natural beauty of the model you're working on.

Btw finally decided on an agency...now just been meeting w/ them and discussing things like pics for their website, career goals and what I need to do next!

Heading Home!!

So this is just a super quick one peeps! Officially heading back to Canada TODAY!! I'm sitting in a restaurant at the airport all checked in and relaxing b/c they thankfully DIDN'T weight my carry on luggage lol. They are actually getting a lot stricter on carry on luggage and I saw one check in girl weighing ppls....I was terrified I would have to go to her counter. Thankfully no! The only way I got my luggage in the weight restrictions was throwing out pretty much all my winter clothes (30 lbs lighter now they don't fit anyway :) ) and by making my carry on bag like 35 lbs (only suppose to be 20 lbs).

So excited to get back to Canada and get things going there again. I've been contacting a lot of super cool stylists, photographers, models etc. about working together so I can't wait! Don't worry I'm still going to keep this blog going as I'd hate to disappoint my "fans" lol.

Btw I did a really cool shoot yesterday w/ a yoga clothing brand called Aumnie Athletics. I'll write more about that another day and include some behind the scenes photos. The owner is actually from Vancouver but the company is based out of Shanghai.
