Portrait Photographer for Beauty Event

I am a freelance photographer and I love photographing people in the "moment' when they are being themselves. I am also an animal lover and am the owner of 4 of my own dogs and I love to take photos of them. I will do my best to capture what your vision.

There are many elements that connect me to this project. As a hairdresser and MUA for 5 years, I worked closely with cosmetic and hair companies to create beauty in front of the camera. As a photographer for 7 years, I have trained to capture that beauty from behind the camera. I have worked on a variety of projects from simple beauty, to beauty events, to artist instillation pieces. I would love to have the chance to use those skill on this project. Additionally, I am a huge rescue pet advocate, and have two rescues of my own. My girls are one of my favorite things to photograph, and also some of my most challenging model. On my photography page, you can see my work with not only humans, but dogs as well.

I am able to Provide Unique & Visceral Photos that Capture the Essence of Joy-Gratitude-Love - Make Overs have always been a Treat and the Memory deserves the Best - Animals Love Me and they Love Posing for My Work - Uncanny - Thank You

I'd like to be considered for your photography position. I have 8 years of experience of successful work with a variety of personalities(from indigenous people to plastic surgeons) and animals(from pets to exotic animals like yaks or Bactrian camels). Have been capturing high-quality photographs across the planet for different purposes: advertisement, print, Internet distribution, magazine articles. For 4 years I've worked with the biggest Russian organic cosmetic company: produced and shot images for promotional campaigns. In collaboration with two organic cosmetic brands two books about nature, indigenous people, wildlife and beauty recipes were created. I will be delighted to work with you as the concept of cruelty-free/organic cosmetics is very close to me. Samples of my work you can find in my portfolio in my profile. Though I temporarily live in Minneapolis, I will come to Chicago without any problems and at no additional cost. I would be glad to answer any further questions you may have! Thank you for your time, Elisabeth
