This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of taking Divya’s portrait. The first time was in 2019 when she came to me for headshots. Divya is a lovely woman and has both gentle and kind energy. This time, I wanted to show off her wardrobe, and new hairstyle, and capture her with a more natural and authentic look and feel. We chose a simple, flattering lighting setup consisting of a single light and a large white panel to fill in the shadows. We played with different color backdrops to complement her clothing and skin tone. You can see more images at leeseidenbergphotography.com/somaliving - Lee Seidenberg, Lee Seidenberg Photography

and dynamic, easygoing movement. The overall effect achieves a perfect balance to her natural face shape and provides an easy-to-replicate look at home, perfect for the busy working mom. - Yoni Kreger, YK Salon

For Divya’s makeup look, I chose a soft daytime glow, fresh skin, warm tones, and subtle contour to accentuate her features. Divya’s wardrobe is cool-toned so it makes sense to keep her makeup understated. In one of her looks, however, I use a red gloss to change things up and create a pop of color. Divya is a powerful lady and I want her makeup to reflect that. Sometimes with makeup looks, less is more. Lee has very tonal lighting and that is a great backdrop for me to work with. - Norah Salazar, NorahSalazarMakeup
