Nalah Cosmetics – Beauty campaign in Spain

As most of you know, the beauty genre is one of my absolute favorite genres as a photographer. It is the genre where I have my love for aesthetics, makeup, precision and glowing skin at the fore. This is where the makeup has to speak its own language and I have to capture the beauty and elegance with the camera

On top of that, when it takes place in my beloved Spain, I'm sold on stick licorice! Catching glow in skin and hair, under the southern sun, in a beautiful location, just makes me AGAIN pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.

When NALAH Cosmetics booked me to shoot a campaign for the absolutely amazing bodyglows and lipglosses, I didn't hesitate for a moment - in less than 30 seconds I said a resounding YES THANK YOU! and then it was off to Malaga.

When the sun fails, so what?

Gray weather….. Rain….. SO WHAT DO YOU DO? The whole idea is to capture the glow in the sun's warm rays, from the product, but when the weather is gray and sometimes also wet... so what? Then you are CREATIVE! This is also where I am SO grateful for the years of experience I have, so that I can quickly come up with other methods to capture the glow. Even though it was grey, there was still light to catch and throw back at the beautiful models, with my reflector. We got lots of glow, but at the same time also a beautiful and soft light, with a beautiful Spanish cliff as a background.

Yes, it was not entirely without concern about the weather when we only had 24 hours to shoot the campaign in, but you know what? It turned out to be the most beautiful pictures anyway - see a small preview below.
