Black Beauty – Cilla

Meet Cilla, a gorgeous model I met on Instagram. I absolutely love her skin tone.

Once a while I do bridal beauty tests to try out various techniques and new products worth adding to my wedding working kit. I always follow beauty trends and new releases, but before I use them on a paying client, a test with ladies of different ethnicities and skin tones is normally carried out to make sure they are worth having in my working kit.

I also wanted to practice a few photography techniques including lighting techniques to help me shoot faster when I’m with a bride. A blog post on my photography journey is due soon so look out for it 🙂
