We came across Joanna the way anyone nowadays meets and connects… on Instagram. We were looking for a local MUA to collaborate with on a creative shoot. Someone who does your skin but better, and with a cute twist kind of make up, and her work is exactly that. After a series of unfortunate events on our shoot date we ended up spending a stormy afternoon in studio all day together, and not wanting anyone to leave empty handed we convinced (read: maybe peer pressured a little) Joanna to let us take some new headshots for her. Even though our shoot was a complete bust we really connected with Joanna, spending a couple of hours chit chatting and getting to know each other, so much so that we stayed in touch and eventually we all did have a successful shoot together (more on that later!). At the time of shooting in this studio (Studio ThxrtyFour, no longer open unfortunately) had a beautiful floral installation that we the focus of our original shooting plan, and I’m so happy that we ended up being able to shoot there even if only for a few quick photos. Also loved adding in some light aromatic smoke in post for a moodier kind of feel.
