Looking Through the Window at Life
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
This is one of Anton De Beer’s “Bridal Boudoir” photographs
“Looking though the window at life. You look amazing to me” is the title given to this photograph by the model, Kira Wilkinson. Kira and I shared a chalet whilst touring Jo-Burg with Madame Zingara and when she finally returned back from the UK I felt privileged to finally work with her on a test. I really love the ambiance of this photograph, the lighting, the reflections in the glass and the neutral colour palette. I hope to work with this team again soon!

Colette – final
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on August 12th, 2009
The final image, my personal favorite, from my first shoot with James Strack and Caroline Olvarrietta. For me, this is the show where Colette looks the most beautiful, and also a shot which utilizes the amazing “soft natural light” James created. It was a privilege to work with this great team.
James wanted to focus on texture and light, monopolizing the unique set he designed for the shoot which utilized strategic channels of natural light with the help of an accompany assistant and his board, so it was important for the make-up to look “soft” and “fuzzy” whilst still sculpting Colette’s face. By using Colette’s natural colour palette ( the colours in her hair and skin) I was able to keep this look “simple” and “uncomplicated”
