The event raised more than $400,000 to support families hit by the economic crisis, provide scholarships for youth, care
for frail seniors, and help children who have experienced trauma. Multiple generations—including a record number of young
leaders, enjoyed world-class entertainment and danced the night away. It was a great party for a vital cause!

Another photographers’ dream come true!

What a great opportunity this was to show what a difference professional make-up, together with carefully chosen angles as well as taking advantage of natural light can make.

The images on the left were taken before make-up was applied. In order show what a difference shooting at the best angle can make, I purposely shot the before photos without taking advantage of the best possible angle and I didn’t shoot to improve the available light. There was no professional lighting at the training session.

The photos on the right are the after photos, with make-up and with my choice of the best angle and working with the not-so-great lighting. I didn’t retouch these photos in Photoshop other than very simple tweaks to sharpness and contrast.

So what accounts for the dramatic difference in the before and after photos? Is it the:

1. the make-up
2. the photography
3. or is it both?
