In this photo deconstruction I break down the making of a colorful painterly beauty image with an illustrative look. I began by being inspired by the painterly look created by makeup artist Yvonne Macinnis, and then decided what type of lighting would complement her creation.

First, I decided that a white background would help to create a stark canvas for the subject and that I would also lighten the skin (to almost white) to match the background. I lit the background with two small white umbrellas on either side for even illumination on a grey background.

Next, I lit the subject with a white beauty with a grid. The fill light (below) was a silver beauty dish and a blue gel. This blue gel would fill in the shadows on the face, and be a compliment to the yellow paint on the face (and match some of the blue paint).

Post-processing played a major role in the ‘illustrative’ and painterly look of the image. I drastically increased contrast and clarity, desaturated the skin tone, and saturated all of the paint colors of the face. These changes worked together to give a graphic and pop art look to the image.

What do you think? Is this something that you would try? Let me know in the comments!
