JEAN SWEET
"Focusing on introducing photography to interested stylists, Jean Sweet offers in-depth classes, plenty of mentoring on set and inspiring shoots for all stylists interested in doing hair or makeup for photography."
Article, continued:
"She was a salon owner and sylist for 16 years before walking away from her safe haven to pursue a career in editorial styling work. Fast-forward to present day and Jean Sweet is a sought-after beauty photographer with intimate knowledge of both the salon and editorial worlds. Her current career passion: Help other stylists realize their photographic dreams through mentoring before, during and after photo shoots."
Jeryl quotes Jean:
"Because my background is in hair and makeup for fashion, I naturally go for the pretty shot, although I love creating many different moods and looks, " smiles Sweet. "Style aside, my main mission is to help other stylists feel the same joy that I feel when doing photo shoots. I accomplish this by preparing stylists, getting involved in the model casting and working with them during the process in order to create the best possible images for their portfolios, walls and marketing materials."
