The Speed Shoot was a competition to benefit a charity, to find the best model, Makeup Artist and Photographer, and the winners won a spread in Style is So You Magazine. www.styleissoyou.com/speedshoot08 The theme was Tokyo Street Fashion, and we models all pieced our outfits together ourselves. It was crazy fun.
At Pete's, [Study in Light Photography] urging, I entered myself as a model as well as doing the Makeup for two other contestants, Crystal Gregg [Miss Teen Oregon] and Marissa Ivana [Model and Blazer girl!].
It was a beyond hectic morning. I got up at 5am to do my own makeup and hair, and left by 7:00 to start the makeup for the other two models. Besides my own stress of competing physically, the work of my own hands was also competing for the Makeup Artistry spot. Talk about alot on your plate!
Turns out, I was a runner up in both cagetories! :) I was featured in the magazine, a headshot winner on pages 9 and 19. And my makeup artistry was featured on pages 27, 28, 33 and 35! It was a really huge accomplishment for me, and it was amazing to meet all the incredible photographers and models. I'll always remember that day fondly, because it really was my first chance to spread my wings and fly.
