Award-Winning Makeup-Artist: Ashynne Padilla

Photo By Taylor Stern


In this photo Ashlynne Padilla, 27, (right) lives every little girl’s dream. She is an award winning makeup artist specializing in wedding, film, TV, commercial, print, runway and special events. In the image she is applying makeup to a model that came to her in-home studio. She is an on-site makeup-artist that is willing to travel anywhere for a client. 

I love the lighting on Ashlynne, it makes her look as if she is glowing. The composition follows a very comfortable rule of thirds and symmetry. It is easy for the viewer’s eyes to follow the context of the photograph. It is more of a medium shot, which I thought was good to get everything I wanted to get in the frame. In Photoshop I chose to keep the image in color because I thought certain images did not pop out as much in black and white. The award in the background blended in when it was not in color and that is something that I really want to stand out. According to the Washington Post Hierarchy I believe this image to be informational. A viewer is able to take a lot of context away from the photograph, which I wanted for my stand-alone piece. It is a narrative photograph.
