Makeup used for contouring

Luke Musharbash: I’m a freelance portrait and fashion photographer based in Leeds, England. I strive to create inventive and professional-looking images; I try to think of what has already been done and avoid the obvious – to create something new for the eye. My style is an everlasting process of development.

I do not consider myself as having a particular style, but rather, an everchanging one. I try to look beyond what is already there and visualise new potential for creativity. I enjoy combining my efforts with those of fashion designers, make-up artists and assistants, to leave a lasting image in people’s minds.

How did you combine your visions to reach a result you were both happy with?

LM: Allegra approached me to do a collaborative shoot around an urban theme. When we met, we discussed the direction in which we wanted to take the project. Allegra showed me mood boards for the look she had in mind and immediately, I was excited about the project. I knew we were going to create some great images together.

I am always attracted to elements that depict the beauty, magic and fantasy of our world.
