PREP TO POST Workshops presents a one of a kind educational and networking event open to PHOTOGRAPHERS, MAKEUP ARTISTS, and HAIRSTYLISTS mentored by beauty photographer Sean Armenta, hairstylist Sienree Du, and makeup artist Leibi Carias. This unique workshop will illustrate how to best light hair and makeup from not only a photographic point of view, but also from the perspective of how light interacts with makeup and hairstyling products as well as specific makeup looks and hairstyles.

Learn how three different artists approach lighting for beauty in this exciting two-day event. Sean, Sienree and Leibi will share their real-world experience working as freelancers in the fashion and beauty industries to enable you to become more confident in your respective fields. As a makeup artist or hairstylist, have you ever wanted to know more about lighting in a non-technical format? Have you as a photographer wanted to know more about makeup and hair to aid in your lighting skills? This workshop is definitely for you.

Sean Armenta will demonstrate his approach to lighting makeup and hair from his experience working with clients such as Paul Mitchell, Milani Cosmetics, NailPro Magazine, Beauty Launchpad, Modern Salon, and American Salon. Sean will go beyond the lighting techniques and illustrate how and when to use certain lighting scenarios that will best feature the 6 basic makeup and hair looks you will encounter.

Sienree Du will impart her expertise from being a Paul Mitchell artist and educator, whose freelance career has included clients such as Arden B, Wet Seal, Revolve Clothing, GQ, Elle, Seventeen, Shane West, Mya, and Cote De Pablo. She will reveal her favorite products to use for various situations and how to dissect photographic lighting from a hairstylist’s frame of mind.

Leibi Carias will reveal her secrets from working with advertising, editorial, runway and celebrity clients such as Vin Lee Jewelers, Jessica Darwin, Penelope and Coco, Vampd, Prestige, Mya, The All American Rejects, and Kiowa Gordon. Leibi will expose the ins and outs of makeup application techniques and products to best suit the lighting situation.

During the first half of the first day, artists will be split into groups of their specific disciplines for lectures. In the second half of the day, Sean will discuss lighting with hairstylists and makeup artists while Sienree and Leibi will lead the photographers to educate and answer questions. On the second day all artists will be brought together to view a practical application of the topics and to witness the interaction between photographer, hairstylist and makeup artist within a collaboration. In addition, attendees will be able to network with fellow artists, take what they’ve learned and begin planning their way to producing better work and elevating their craft.
