New Light Portraiture is the combined venture of Lara Salzwedel of Rural Canyon, and Sianne Jones of Facets – Beauty and Skin Care. It is about using the art of capturing natural light, and the artistry of makeup, in order for women to see themselves in a new and beautiful light. Both Lara and Sianne are exited to journey with each woman as they explore aspects of their beauty both inside and out. It is Lara’s aim to make visible the inner beauty of each woman she photographs.
All New Light Portraiture is shot in natural light and can be shot at the photographer’s natural light studio or at an agreed upon outdoor location. Travel further than 10kms from the studio will be charged at R4,25 per km. Both Lara and Sianne will meet with each client before the session in order to get to know the client and to try to establish what the client hopes to gain from the session, and to discuss hair and outfits.
