The fingernails are a nice touch. When you go on photo shoots, do you coordinate the scenery, cosmetics, etc., or do other people do that?

This was a Nailpro magazine story about the technique used on those nails (hole punching). It was also the February issue in 2004.

The answer to the question is always different. Stuff like this is always a collaboration between the creative department at the magazine and me on the day of the shoot. Although the concept for this shot was already well thought out, I added my opinions on makeup, lighting, background and a bit on the positioning of the hands and fingers to best illustrate the idea. It's a little hard to see the glitter on her body and hands in a small shot on the computer, but that was something that made the shot pop on the cover.
