After I have completed the photography course, hair and make-up has always been a passion of mine. So instead of ruling it out completely why not add it to my degree.
With wanting to be a fashion photographer and having make-up skills is an added bonus you can build the whole shoot from scratch exactly how you want it. Also in the industry having an extra skill such as this is very useful!
When looking at a few available courses it lists what will be taught, few of these I actually already know how to do stated in red next to the skills some I don't know of a professional level. So after leaving the course my first aim is to get a qualification in Make-up!
