Wardrobe Stylist in Los Angeles | Jordan Hawkins Artist Profile Shoot

As a wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles, I styled the L.A. based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jordan Hawkins, he builds a hypnotic atmosphere with his music, inviting the listener into an alternate reality that moves at its own unhurried pace.

With his impossibly smooth vocals and powerful range, the 23-year-old North Carolina native delivers a minimalist yet potent breed of R&B, infusing each track with his one-of-a-kind guitar work: shapeshifting, meditative, endlessly expressive of the unrestrained emotion at the heart of every lyric. Now at the helm of his debut project, Jordan Hawkins is on his way to becoming one of music’s most exciting new additions. He is currently signed with ICM Partners.

ICM Partners is one of the world’s leading talent agencies, dedicated to the representation of artists, content creators, broadcasters, authors, journalists, and artisans.

I’ve worked with 2 showrooms to pull Jordan’s looks from. One of them was Mannfolk PR, Mannfolk Public Relations is a boutique public relations agency located in sunny Los Angeles. The other showroom was ETCETERA Los Angeles.

ETCETERA Los Angeles was founded by Jade Ikazoboh, a fashion industry professional who’s background includes public relations, event production, and styling. Jade noticed a void for an all-inclusive agency that combines her skillsets along with all assets needed to properly launch a brand from start to finish.

I had a great time working with Jordan Hawkins and Reeevves as a wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles and I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future.

Traveling Hair and Makeup Artist | Portrait Session in Croatia with Domagoj Horak

As a traveling hair and makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with fashion/portrait photographer Domagoj Horak on a portrait shoot session in Zadar, Croatia. Domagoj Horak is a Croatia-based photographer/videographer. He has a passion for design and digital marketing as well.

Domagoj Horak captured me in a Croatia traveling story while I visited the country. A good portrait draws attention to the model. This is normally achieved through some combination of a shallow depth of field, composition, color, and lighting. You should be able to look at a good portrait and know something about them. The best portrait artists can tell a whole story in a single image.

As a commercial makeup artist, I did my own hair and makeup. Dark Swan Of Denmark sent me an amazing set of lash collection so I used their lashes on this photoshoot session. For foundation, I used Paris Berlin and for eye shadows, I used the MAC Cosmetics palette. I wanted to keep my hair and makeup natural-looking and having a glowing skin tone. Natural makeup will enhance your features. It’s a simple approach that focuses on a few key areas – skin, eyes, and lips – and brings out your best in a subtle way. Natural makeup will never go out of fashion.

I had a great time collaborating with fashion / portrait photographer Domagoj Horak as a traveling hair and makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

As a vacation stylist in Los Angeles, I love to travel for work. I had the luck of working with the photographer, O. Dressen in Bangkok, Thailand, and to style an editorial for Dear Velvet online magazine.

Being a vacation stylist in, for this editorial I borrowed the looks from Wonder Anatomie. Dear Velvet stated, “Wonder Anatomie’s new Spring Summer Collection has reached into our hearts and left us breathless. As ever, designer Pop’s eclectic aesthetic and collaging tactics are brilliant, but this time it’s the colors that wow. Bright, jungle prints, and clashes of fauna and flora abound. Colour throbs and dazzles. The whole thing is genius. ”

Our models were represented by AREA, AREA Management is an Industry Leading Model Management Agency based in Bangkok, Thailand. Their unique vision and commitment to professionalism and excellence in their work have made them one of the most trusted and respected model management agencies in the world. As a boutique-style agency, they maintain a constantly updated roster of carefully selected and specialized models.

Los Angeles Hair and Makeup Artist | Saddleback Shoot with OX Creates

As a Los Angeles hair and makeup artist, I often travel for work. During this project, I collaborated with OX Creates and Justin Bell Productions. This spot for the OX Creates, was shot over 2 days in Orange County, California with a stellar Justin Bell Productions commercial production team.

For this shoot, alongside my duties as a Los Angeles key makeup artist, I was also in charge of the hairstyling as well. Since each of the characters in this brand video are from the 1980s, I needed to ensure the hair and makeup looks for each character were appropriately created in order to represent their stories in the best way possible.

Justin Bell is a feature film, TV, commercial, and new media producer based in Los Angeles. Currently, he’s in post-production on a 1970’s style superhero heist movie – The Hyperions, starring Cary Elwes. In addition to narrative film and TV, Bell specializes in producing commercials and content for non-profit organizations.

OX Creative is a full-service creative agency, partnering with select clients worldwide. They specialize in developing integrated campaigns that combine film, digital, print, and social, built on a winning strategy, and executed to the highest standard of excellence.

It was a pleasure to work with OX Creative and Justin Bell Productions on this project and hope to work with them again on another production as a Los Angeles hair and makeup artist.

As the best makeup artist in Los Angeles, Mathieu Jacobs photographer hired me and model Jordan Clay for a lifestyle, fashion photo shoot in Los Angeles, California. Mathieu reached out to me through my website and he was planning to organize multiple photo shoots across Los Angeles.

Being a professional makeup artist and hairstylist is one of the most varied, adventurous and crazy careers in the world. People are always asking me what my job is like. Is it glamorous? Do I meet amazing people? Is it stressful and draining? The answer … yes! Yes, to all of the above. My schedule is insanely busy, stressful and demanding – but, worth every minute.

Mathieu Jacobs is an internationally published fashion and lifestyle photographer after he spent twenty years in Paris he felt that his place was no longer there so he decided to keep the essential and look for the best places on our planet. He started a trip all around the world with his camera. It’s a huge privilege to be able to meet different cultures so he tries to capture all these awesome moments as much as possible through photography.
