Last year, one of my college friends contacted me about needing a skilled photographer and editor to help build her portfolio. We exchanged chats a lot and discovered that she had become one of the rising and talented Makeup Artists in Surabaya. Her name is Nia Winata, you can check her work on her Instagram account and I'm in awe of her work personally! Then I said to her I was available at that moment and she hired me half-day so I'm flying to Surabaya before the session day.

On the day, the photo session happens at her home, so it's very limited in terms of background and property to use. When I asked Nia if she had any background to use, she said she had this white semi-transparent fabric and I used it for the background after confirming with her. Due to how low the light is for an indoor shoot, I set up an LED light to help with the lighting. So, we are working with 3 talents and once they changed into their designed outfits, I took their portraits in turn when their makeup done. Knowing that this is for makeup portfolio, I'm trying to highlight the work by making my shots mostly close as possible.
