MVE Campaign Photo Shoot | Makeup Artist in Los Angeles

As a makeup artist in Los Angeles, I had the luck of working with MVE in Downtown LA on a campaign photo shoot for 1 day. During this photo shoot I did hair and makeup for 3 models/dancers.

Established in fall of 2024, MVE is founded on the principle of providing elite athletic & athleisure wear for everyone. Owner Dominic Franco started the Dominate brand in May of 2021. Dominate Technique was the first of the brand that focuses on elite technical dance training all around the world. Their products designed to complement your body.

I love working with athleisure brands because I always have a lot of fun styling the wardrobe pieces. For hair and makeup usually I go for a camera / ready natural look.

Key Points: Why Camera-Ready Makeup is the Best

Flawless Finish: Camera-ready makeup provides a smooth, airbrushed look that conceals imperfections, ensuring a perfect appearance on camera.
Long-Lasting: Special formulas and techniques are used to make the makeup last for long periods, even under bright lights or during extended shoots.
Adapted to Lighting: It is designed to withstand various lighting conditions (such as harsh studio lighting), preventing makeup from looking washed out or overly shiny.
Boosts Confidence: Knowing your makeup is tailored to look perfect under the camera’s scrutiny can help you feel more confident and poised during any media appearance.

This campaign was shot by Ian Cawley and assisted by Perla Diaz. Perla is a Los Angeles based beauty, fashion and portrait photographer.

L.A. Production Designer | FAMSA TV commercial

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of working as an L.A. production designer with Filmed Imagination and director Amit Gupta on a commercial shoot for our client, FAMSA USA is a subsidiary of GRUPO FAMSA of Monterrey, Mexico. FAMSA USA counts with 24 stores in the United States, located in the states of Texas and Illinois. FAMSA USA specializes in selling household items which include; furniture, mattresses, electronics, computers and appliances.

For this shoot, alongside my duties as an L.A. production designer, I was also in charge of the shopping, pre production, as well as the set direction. Since each of the sets are for the different scenes for the commercial, I needed to ensure the set for each space were appropriately placed in order to represent their stories in the best way possible. My experience in each of these departments, along with my ability to effectively multi-task, served as a key component to communicating with the clients and producers in the best way possible. For example, we transformed an empty space into a living room. During our shoot day we needed to flip the house for 6 different displays. This was no easy task, but we managed to pull it off in a short amount of time.

Despite the hefty load of responsibilities, I thoroughly enjoyed working with FAMSA and Filmed Imagination. They gave me the opportunity to channel my skills, ideas, and creativity in order to help bring Famsa’s vision to life. Filmed Imagination is a full service Film, TV and Commercial Production company based in Los Angeles and New York.

Client: FAMSA

Production Company: Filmed Imagination
