In order to qualify for MAC advanced classes you need to be a professional makeup artist. Unfortunately they do not offer training for aspiring artists and those who are just starting out. However if you would like to become a professional, this article will show you how to build a portfolio and how to get the experience you need to become that professional that MAC accepts. You will learn how to build your team so that you can create your book of photos, build a resume, and have the all important video.
Creating A Portfolio
You need a team. The team is made up of a photographer, a stylist, and a videographer. When you are just starting out you can approach students at local fashion and art schools. They also need to build their portfolios. Try placing free ads on Craig’s List. Why not go to hair salons and offer to work with their clients for free as long as you can take pictures. And offer them copies of the pictures. Let florists know that you will work with brides at a discount if the bride and her bridesmaids will let you take pictures and video. The video is a requirement for MAC and they want the edited version to be one with you talking about what you are doing. The photos will be your book, the video will be your reel, and the list of your experience will be your resume.
Get As Much Experience As You Can
You must get clients. Approach bridal shops, wedding photographers, local theater groups. Find bands that are starting out and offer to do make them up for their publicity stills. Call on modeling agencies, high school and college drama departments. Look everywhere for every one.
Your people
Always take your team with you. Get pictures, and video of everyone you do. Don’t forget to include a narration of why you are doing it.
Your Portfolio.
A portfolio is a book of photos showing your work. The photos are 9 x 12 and/or 11 x 14. And that’s your book
