Behind the Scenes: Hair & Makeup for an Activewear Production Shoot
here’s something I love about production work—the collaboration, the creative energy, and watching everyone’s piece of the project come together.
For this activewear shoot, I provided hair and makeup designed specifically for camera. The goal was fresh, polished, and athletic while still allowing the model to look like herself. With activewear, makeup needs to photograph beautifully without looking overly “done,” and hair needs to hold up through movement, posing, and multiple shots.
The finished look was clean, glowing skin, softly defined features, and a sleek ponytail with movement—simple enough to keep the focus on the clothing, but polished enough for professional commercial imagery.
Working With Jose Lara Photography
These images were photographed by Jose Lara Photography in Camarillo. Jose specializes in professional headshots, personal branding, and commercial photography and works with clients throughout Ventura County, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles.
I especially love production days where the photographer and beauty team can work together to make small adjustments throughout the shoot. Hair, makeup, lighting, posing, and wardrobe all affect one another, and that collaboration is what creates a cohesive final image.
