4/18/2023 0 Comments Sopha mackupI love to see the ways in which different artists represent the world, how they play with color and light to create something familiar but also novel. The visual arts have always held so much value to me, especially paintings. Tell me what inspired you to start your #sosodoesart series! Sometimes (or often) halfway through doing my makeup, I look at myself and wonder what exactly I'm doing! But like drawing, you have to trust that your placement and use of lines will eventually bring to life the subject of your work. Some of my favorite looks are ones in which I trusted the process. What have been some of your favorite makeup looks or projects that you have worked on? Philosophy is a way of interacting with the world, of searching out underlying truths, that makes us more critical and thoughtful in our everyday actions. I fell in love with philosophy as a teenager, especially after I recognized the value of tying theory with action. We all do philosophy whenever we wonder, when we ask why, or how, and when we seek the truth about a question or topic. I earned my doctorate in philosophy in 2018! Philosophy is one of those disciplines that seems super esoteric from the outside, but it is a fundamental human activity. I couldn’t help but notice that you are a Doctor of Philosophy! Could you tell me a little bit more about what inspired you to pursue philosophy? And it doesn’t need to be super fancy - right now I mostly use natural light, although I’d love to learn how to work with strobes to get that editorial look. I just like to push myself to improve always and create higher quality content that really lets the makeup shine through. Recently, I’ve been working on filming short makeup videos - especially macro lip swatches. I think my photography and editing skills have really improved over the last few years, which makes me inordinately proud. I’m lucky to have a partner who is a professional photographer and has helped me learn a lot about using a camera and lighting, but I have always taken my own photos. Since Instagram is a visual platform, photography quality matters. Going through your Instagram one can see that you have an incredible eye for aesthetics! How did you first get involved in photography and how do you take your photos?
