Submitting a grainy photo of a model in bad lighting with her eyes closed won\u2019t do you any favors. They won\u2019t give your tutor a good impression of your makeup artistry.\n<h4>Here are some quick tips to follow when taking photos for your course assignments:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Don\u2019t take a photo of your model when backlit!<\/strong> Having your model face the same direction as the light is shining will create shadows over the front of her face. The camera will automatically adjust to compensate for the amount of light coming through the lens, thus creating the shadowy effect. Your tutor won\u2019t be able to see your makeup work at all.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Avoid selfie-style photos!<\/strong> That means no high-angles, tilted head, or half-cropped-out face!<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Always submit close-ups!<\/strong> These are best taken straight on with the model looking at the camera.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Don\u2019t submit photos with the model\u2019s eyes closed! <\/strong>You\u2019ll often see closed-lid photos on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/06\/instagram-new-makeup-artists-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>. But for your tutor to properly grade your assignments, they need to see the overall effect your makeup application has in a real life And in real life, nobody is walking around with their eyes closed!<\/li>\n \t<li>Finally, <strong>don\u2019t over-edit!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;31981&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creativity_Adaptability\"><\/span>Creativity &amp; Adaptability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nSetting yourself apart from the competition with your photography skills is a great way to get jobs and clients!
