Fashion - Live shoot
With a focus on creative photography, Stef’s feminine and natural style of photography come from the approach that every subject has a spark: “Every person in front of the lens has a story to tell, and I aim to draw that out in a single frame. It’s the in-between moments I look for on a shoot. That’s where I try to find the magic.”
A look into the world of Beauty Photography and two different lighting techniques that can be used to create two dynamic beauty looks. The difference between “soft” lighting with a softbox compared to “hard” lighting with barn doors. How lighting can create different concepts and emotions in your beauty photography and the importance of lighting to suit your model and makeup look.
Biography
Stef King is a multi-award-winning photographer from Perth, Western Australia. Her work regularly appears in local and international magazines, advertisements and media campaigns.
With a focus on creative photography, Stef’s feminine and natural style of photography come from the approach that every subject has a spark: “Every person in front of the lens has a story to tell, and I aim to draw that out in a single frame. It’s the in-between moments I look for on a shoot. That’s where I try to find the magic.”
Growing up in the remote coastal towns of Australia’s west coast, the vast and isolated terrain offered the perfect environment for her young imagination – full of stories and characters – to run wild.
Stef’s personable, relaxed demeanour, combined with her ability to bring out the inner strength and beauty in women, has made her one of WA’s most favourite advertising and editorial photographers. Today she has photographed some of Australia’s best and brightest talents, from politicians and celebrities to athletes and supermodels, including Julie Bishop, Melissa George, Jessica Rowe, Jessica Gomez, Megan Gale and Nicole Trunfio.
