COLLABORATION: FJH MAKEUP X KATJA RITVANEN @HFW18
02.08.2018
Hello!
Helsinki Fashion Week 2018 was a dream come true for me and my makeup team. We were extremely happy that we had the chance to work with amazing HFW staff, international designers with sustainable values, talented photographers, stylists, hair stylists and famous fashion reporters. The fashion week was held in "Eco Village" which was built for the event around Öljysäiliö in Helsinki. HFW18 was the first 100% sustainable worldwide fashion week in history, and was fortunately noticed from it around the globe.
My makeup team consisted of 13 passionate professional makeup artists, one makeup assistant, one videographer and one photographer – Katja Ritvanen. This blog post is about Helsinki Fashion Week 2018 runway makeup looks trough the lens of Katja Ritvanen!
I found Katja a couple of months ago form Tampere, and soon it became clear that her way to photograph and her effectivity in finding moments and angles are already more developed than for many other more experienced photographer I have worked with. To show gratitude (and good makeup photos!) I wanted to do a blog post about HFW18 makeup photos taken by this young, talented and kind-hearted Katja Ritvanen. All the makeup looks are created by me. Please, take a look.
