I have been asked to be part of a new project which is still all under wraps. What I can say is that requires new images of my make up artistry that has not been published before. I asked Melanie my pr to come down for a shoot and kindly step back into her modelling zone for me. However she said she will bring down her "protégée". A complete newbie to the industry and this was to be her first ever shoot!!! With someone inexperience you never know what you get - a bit like russian roulette: They can turn out amazing, promising, ok or worse no good. Our Photographer Mike Watson from SWS Photography was so thoughtful to catch some of the preparations before the shoot
