Beauty photography usually refers to close up photos of models. The best beauty photographers will be masters of lighting, using the light to sculpt shapes and strong compositions. Beauty photography is often teamed up with fashion photography with photographers often being referred to as Fashion & beauty photographers. However there is a big difference between the two disciplines.
Commercially, beauty photography will often be use to promote and showcase
Most beauty photographers work in the studio with elaborate lighting techniques, though some also take beauty photos natural light or on location.
Most beauty photographer set their fee based on the shoot length, in either full day or half day options. Photographers also take into account any pre-production work, like sourcing studio, locations, models, makeup artists etc. Post production work such as RAW file processing and retouching and image usage which will usually vary between editorial and commercial beauty photoshoots.
The is no wrong or right with photography. Many beauty photos are retouched and with the photo often taken close up with lots of details, most beauty photos we see in the media and in ads are heavily retouched. There is a newer trend for non-retouched images resulting in a natural look.
Post production can mean a lot of things and can vary greatly in the time it take to complete. Basic post production will usually mean adjusting RAW images to optimise brightness and colours. Retouching, often also referred to as post production, will usually mean altering the image in photoshop.
We recommend speaking with beauty photographers about any post production that you might need. Most photographers will include some basic form of post production on a certain number of images.
Depending on your brief a beauty photoshoot can either take place in the studio or on location. Shooting beauty in the studio offers the ultimate control of lighting but photographing on location can of course offer interesting backdrops.
Some beauty photographers have their own studio, while other work with rental studios and locations. Discuss your brief and show a moodboard to the photographer so that you can both decide on the best place for your shoot.
