Color Story

Everyone knows my work as super clean, glowy and natural.  With constant work I barely get any chance of testing anymore so when the opportunity to create and add color arose, I jumped with glee!  Though, shot in early December and you've probably seen it on my Facebook Page and I even did a beauty breakdown on one of the images, here's the color story I worked on.  Enjoy!

First I'd like to start off with an apology.  I haven't posted in quite some time.  I have been quite the busy bee both with personal things and work.  Since the last couple of times I've posted, my husband enlisted and left for the Army, I got signed with an Agency and I've flown back and forth for both work and Military Spouse business.  I've also been taking some driving lessons to refresh my memory.  Yes, I'm 30 and I don't have a drivers license.  I live in NYC and I live 2 blocks from the train station.  Never needed one but since I'd like to eventually own a car someday, I'm finally getting this done.  Next up, swimming lessons! HA! Anyone got a cloning device?

What's new? I did a shoot with model Cynthia who I shot with before a VERY long time ago.  It was nice seeing her again.  I had an amazing team and the pictures are quite amazing if I do say so myself.

I've also had a video of me working along with my images put together.  I'm not one to be in front of the camera so it was weird having someone record me as I worked but it turned out to be pretty cool.  I'll add more footage of me working (and maybe even talking - YIKES!) as time goes by.  Thank you to Norm for shooting this and putting this video together in such short notice.  You're the best and I owe you dinner.

Well that's all for now folks!  I will try my best to stay on top of my blog and remember, you can always send any questions and/or requests to my email (contact [at] yisellsantos [dot] com) of anything you'd like me to cover in my blog and I will try my best to get that up for you guys.  I love you all and keep making people beautiful.  Never give up on your dreams.  I didn't ;)

NEW Work

I withheld these photo's for almost a year (yeah I know, crazy!) due to a possible magazine publishing.  After a year we still haven't heard back from the magazine and figured that if in a year they haven't contacted us, they probably never will.  Now without further adieu, here is the gorgeous Siobahn.  Enjoy!

Itching to Create

I was itching to do something creative since most of my work is clean beauty.  I thought I'd be rusty from not doing creatives in so long but I gotta say...not too shabby eh?

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Check out the new Batman DVD/Blue Ray called "Batman: Under the Red Hood".  Not only is it a great Batman "anime" style movie, but I did some of the makeup for the writers/artists on the Special Features section.

Makeup I did was for: Dan DiDio, Paul Levitz and Dennis O'Neil.

Chocolate

After waiting so long for FINALLY getting a dark skinned girl in my port (very much desperately needed), I got Sara!  Gorgeous skin and super cool to work with.
