whoa.  i posted these images on facebook, but never got around to putting them up on the blog.  they were shot in the studio at the very beginning of february on a lovely sunday.  there were probably 6 or 7 models scheduled.  there were 3 no shows, including a stylist.  people really need to work on that. the ladies who did show up were treated to the christina elfar experience.  with the help of jason olivera and alexandria gosetti, they transformed they already lovely ladies into works of art. head down to Bella Nova Salon, 369 Central St, Foxboro, MA! shoot. i need christina to do MY hair.  :)  KMD

THE DREAM TEAM:
KARIN DAILEY - photographer
CHRISTINA ELFAR - hair/make-up
NOEL ESTACIO - make-up
JASON OLIVERA - hair
AMELIA GENAO - assistant/stylist

back one sunday at the end of september, we had 8 models come in.  all 8 showed up.  all 8 rocked.  i think i posted a few 'teaser' images from this session before, but haven't posted more since then.  our theme was 'black'....just a color to tie all of the images together.  i'll eventually photoshop an ANTM style image of all the girls standing.  it should be dope.  :)  i said dope.  KMD


how gorgeous is ashley?  jesus.  she reminds me of katherine zeta jones.  classic.

meet jude law.  kidding.  this is john.  i absolutely love this picture.  we shot outside because the studio was closed for the day and he used his car and an alley as his dressing room.  :)  that's the spirit!  all models should be like john.  so easy to work with.  on time.  professional.  fantastic.  awesome.  wow.  KMD

i know.  i know.  i should be working on my website.  BUT i scheduled shoots almost every sunday since may in order to post a new site with a new focus....so i have to edit all of those images first!  :)  i have another favorite from the matt cusson shoot.  he wanted something vintage.  something grungy.  nothing clean.  no sunny beaches.  no rolling hills of prettiness.  so this is another composite i created one night.  background is a stock photo from this cat.

stephanie is new to modeling.  she's fun to work with and with time will gain some confidence behind the camera.  it's intimidating!  that's why i'm on the other side of the camera.  lol.  samantha of illustrious day spa did her make-up.  hair by ms. kelly.  i love the feathers.  the gloves were samantha's grandmother's and we were very careful with them.  this photo was shot in the stairwell over at CDIA.  my favorite hallway in the whole world, for sure.  there are huge windows and beautiful old hammered metal walls.  if that makes sense....

for stephanie's retouch, i removed the hair that was falling across her shoulder/neck.  i smoothed her neck and skin.  elongated her fingers and slimmed her hand.  it's not like she had a big hand, but the camera angle distorted it.  i punched up the color in her make-up and brightened her eyes.  enjoy!

the lovely kelly joined me a few sundays ago with samantha of illustrious day spa.  we were shooting stephanie (i'll post one of her pictures next) and our second model texted to cancel.  don't even get me started on models and cancelling or not showing up or being late.  grr.  anyway, kelly stepped in to be our afternoon model and we had a lot of laughs.  this photo was one of my favorites.  in the retouched photos, i fixed some stray hairs, added some more bangs, did a little work on her skin and then played around with some finishes/photo treatments?  which one is your favorite?

christina wanted me to shoot one of her clients, mary.  she was thinking punky brewster.  spunky punky.  boy o boy was mary spunky.  lol.  we had lots of laughs.  she felt more comfortable dancing than doing headshots.  she's the banner to this blog.  all mary.  :)  here is a lil before/after headshot of mary in her 2nd outfit (not punky brewster).  i should post all of the outtakes, as there were plenty.  HA!  hair and make-up by the lovely and talented christina elfar of bella nova salon in foxboro, MA.  make your appointment today!  (508) 549-9911  KMD

so i fell in love with the make-up that samantha did for carina.  i wish i could pull it off myself.  :)  carina is a dancer, who felt more comfortable behind the camera once she got off the stool and moved thru one of her ballet routines.  i'll post a bunch of images from her shoot after this post, but this one is kind of a favorite.  she's off to harvard in the fall.  congrats and good luck, woman!  p.s.  she's wearing a tubetop.  get your head out of the gutter!  lol.  KMD

what can i say about jennifer?  she's fan-tab-ulous!  great model!  great personality!  great to work with!  we laughed the ENTIRE time.  she's another pose/flash/pose/flash/pose chick.  love it!  she knows exactly where to put her hands, chin, eyes...awesome.  :)  i went super overboard with this retouch, just to see if I could pull it off.

hair and make-up by samantha of illustrious day spa.
skin was first.
then i copied her hair from the right and put it on the left.
made the folds in her lips less visible.
added eyelashes.
changed the make-up and eye color.
changed the catch lights in her eyes.
cooled the color of the image down.

and viola!  voila!  ta-dah!  :)  click on the thumbnail (bottom right) to see the "BEFORE".  KMD

i wanted to start displaying one of my absolutely - hold on, pandora radio is asking me if i am still listening - absolutely favorite aspects of photography.  it's more on the photoshop side.  retouching.  i love retouching.  simple portrait retouching is cool, but i love fashion/beauty retouching.  the kind you see in the magazine.  we all know that even with all the make-up and stylists and trainers that celebrities have, they still don't look as good as they do without the help of the digital retoucher.  we all have flaws.  it is my job to make those flaws disappear.  and boy, do i enjoy it.  from here on out, you'll see more BEFORE/AFTER blog posts.  here is jean before and after.  and let me just remind everyone...you are beautiful in your 'before' picture.  i'm just intensifying and magnifying your beauty in the 'after' picture.  LOL. 

below is the 'after'/retouched image.  click on the thumbnail (bottom, right) to see the 'before'.  KMD
