I'm excited to share the process behind my latest look book project. Last year, I embarked on creating my second look book, drawing inspiration from a trending topic on TikTok at the time.
The trend focused on the makeup routine for Latina girls, showcasing the intricate steps involved in achieving the perfect Latina makeup look. This required a significant amount of patience and precision, as each step played a crucial role in achieving the desired finish.
Once my makeup was flawlessly applied, I turned to my trusty Canon EOS 250D camera paired with a 35mm lens to capture my portraits. Despite being an older model, I've always been impressed with the results it delivers. Setting the camera with flash on and utilizing spot focus ensured that my pictures turned out incredibly sharp, requiring minimal editing.
During the editing process, I made slight adjustments to enhance the vibrancy of the background wall and added highlights to accentuate certain features. Overall, I was thrilled with how the images turned out and pleased that minimal editing was needed to achieve the desired aesthetic.
However, the most challenging part of the project was piecing together the content for a captivating Reel. I learned from my mistake of completing the Reel before finding the right audio, which made the process more challenging than necessary. Moving forward, I now prioritize selecting the audio beforehand for a smoother editing process.
Despite the challenges, I'm incredibly proud of the final result and eagerly anticipate my next look book project in 2024.
