a thousand miles

To those who have been asking for my self-portrait lighting set-up (the white background ones), as well as how my skin looks super clear in my pictures. It’s all about flattering light. I certainly do not have perfect skin - the areas around my nose and my mouth are rather reddish, and I have dark circles under my eyes due to bad cases of insomnia (but thank God for concealer and foundation). You can solve all these without the use of photoshop or airbrushing just by the kind of light that falls on your face. Here are veeery ordinary unprocessed photos of me for comparison. Try it out too. :)

Thank you to all my 4053 followers. Merry Christmas! Please feel free to reblog my no make-up face, and to try this flattering-light-technique out yourselves! Been working on editing backlog for the past couple of days, which sort of makes me want to quit school and do shiny photoshoots everyday. Haaa. Thesis, please do yourself, lol.

(P.S. I need a haircut.)
