Luxury Photoshoot at Burj al Arab

September 5, 2018 Yasmin

Luxury is everywhere in Dubai. We had the honor of working with the lovely Carlotta Conca (https://lustforthesublime.com) during her stay at the Burj al Arab.

Last week, we received an email from Carlotta and asked us if we’d like to join her in her stay at the Burj al Arab to capture her stay there through photography and video. I mean, who would say no to that? It’s the one and only Burj al Arab! So, we made plans for the shoot and took with us our sister company, The Lipstick Makeup Institute, to join us to do the hair and the makeup.

We got to the hotel and was greeted by glass doors and gold embellishments all over the facility. Calm music was playing with a whiff of floral perfume encompassed the lobby. The team was escorted to Carlotta’s hotel room and immediately unpacked our things so we could start the shoot as soon as possible.

We first went to the Library where the huge snooker table was at and then we went to the beach area.

It was a hot summer’s day at Dubai but the team didn’t let the sun beat us. Together with the photographer, our videographer also captured some beautiful shots for Carlotta’s blog while the makeup artist stood by to check whether or not Carlotta needed to retouch.

When we finished the shoot, we went back to Carlotta’s room to cool down a bit and had some snacks and drinks before we left the wonderful hotel.

As soon as we got back to the studio, the editors started editing the photos so that it’ll be ready as soon as possible. Thankfully, we had a lot of amazing shots so there were no issues choosing which are the best. The next day, Carlotta came back to the studio to have a look at the photos and she was very pleased with the results.

Another satisfied client from YH Studio.

SORAYA B. COUTURE AND VAROIN MARWAH AW 2018 FASHION SHOW

Soraya and Her Muses prepare for the runway

The first Friday after the Ramadan Holidays, June 22 2018, we collaborated with a couple of fabulous designers, SORAYA B. COUTURE and VAROIN MARWAH at VII DUBAI in Conrad Hotel. In cooperation with Fashion TV, our students from the Lipstick Makeup Institute created the looks for the models before they marched their way into the runway. As the YH team documented the chaos backstage.

The YH Team captured the transformation of the models from their casual wear to the beautiful creations of Soraya and Varoin.

Beautiful muses emerge to the main stage with a mixture of blinding gold highlights and fuschia pink cheeks Avant Garde looks.

With the guidance of one of the Lipstick Makeup Institute’s teachers and coordinator, the students were challenged to finish their makeup look within 10-15 mins per model in their first ever fashion show as the boys captured precious moments of it.

It was a jam-packed show. The models adorning the designs by Soraya and Varoin gleamed on the cat-walk.

The models owned the stage as they felt so confident in their ensamble. Shining bright with Soraya’s gowns and make up that gave them confidence to hold their heads up high.

Day 1 of Arab Fashion Week in KSA.

April 16, 2018 Yasmin 440 Comments

Day 1 of Arab Fashion Week in KSA. Was so privileged to have me and my team from YH Studios DXB be an active part in this wonderful event. We covered all backstage photography and videography for Arab Fashion Week I am so please that we got some really fantastic shots and footage.

We were over whelmed opportunity to be a part of an historical happening. Arab Fashion Week has put some huge shows on and this did not disappoint. For the first time in Saudi Arabia @arabfashioncouncil was proud to hold the first ever fashion show in this country full of amazing, beautiful people who cannot do enough to help you and make you feel so welcome.

YH Studios DXB Has been involved many times in Arab Fashion Week so was so happy to be apart of this once again.

We were all so overwhelmed by the generosity of time and hospitality that the Arabic people displayed. They welcomed us into their country with open arms.

As for the Fashion Show! To be working with he team from Jena Paul Gaultiere was just incredible. I have admired everything about this guy so to be up close and personal with his amazing catwalk designs was such a privilege.

The models were flown in from all over the world so a good range of faces for the runway. They were lovely to work with and very professional. We all worked together as a team and this is a major attribute to making a show very successful. We are all there to achieve amazing results for us all.

Behind the scenes is where all the action happens and I just love it. We get some off the cuff shots and natural video footage which makes the final cuts so authentic.

Jean Paul Gaultiere catwalk was just heaven, the clothes complimented each model and the spiraling video on the tv screen behind was so complimentary, was mind blowing.

August 30, 2017 Yasmin 12 Comments

We are so pleased to of been involved in this Creative magazine shoot with the weekend magazine Al khaleej.

We decided to go with an 80’s theme for the front cover and supply a step by step makeup guide for our creative makeup look.

The Team from The Lipstick Make Up Institute managed the make up and The Team from YH Studios did the style and the design of our creative magazine shoot cover.
The 80’s theme to spice things up a little and give the readers something different.
The hair was Styled by my good Irish friend, Cyril from Ted Morgans hair salon and with a little help from another good friend, Jamilla Paul.

Happy Snapper, ready for our creative magazine shoot — Cool Shot of our Cyril ready for our creative magazine shoot

Our Cyril ready for his shoot! — Cyril looks as cool as Cucumber.

Creative Hair Stylist , Jamilla Paul with Lara Tabet. — Lovely Shot of Jamilla Paul, Creative hair Director.

Our Cyril is a stylish guy with a cheeky face.
If I could do a project like this every day I would because its exciting and creative

Everyone pulls together and supports each other.

We actually involved one of our students from The Lipstick Make up institute– Zouha. She was in her final week of The International Platinum Media Make up course and was a great project for her to exit with.

Especially as this was a great attribute to her portfolio that YH Studios made for her.

Make up and photography are just the best combination.

These two Go together like a bird and a feather. Dream Team.

We would not get projects like this if we didn’t have the 2 companies.
We all strive to be on the front cover and finally here we did. Hope you all like the creativity and style of the cover.

We like to inspire our readers so you can achieve your creative look.

Kids Beach Fashion Photoshoot

March 15, 2017 Yasmin 383 Comments

Its such a pleasure to shoot with these lovely kids. They are just so so cute.

We are asked to do this shoot from a company in India. They found us on the internet and loved our work.

So on this front we were very happy too. I decided to break the shoot in to 2 separate parts. One on The Palm Jumeirah at sunset. The client sent me some photos of a kind of dream state backlit subject so I thought that would be ideal. In fact it was as I caught them perfectly.

We just love working with children. After nearly 29 years from my start of loving photography. I have mastered the key elements of getting the best from my clients. No matter how small they are!

I guide them in a way that they don’t really know that they are being asked. I let them play and capture them at their most natural.

This is really when you get the best shots . Have a look at these photos and tell me what you think? We would love all your input.

These kids are so beautiful and look so good in the clothes. The client was so very happy with the shots as its shows his clothes off so lovely. In fact its so lovely to see the boys wearing pink. They are so sweet.

Our sister company The Lipstick make Up Institute pampered the kids. They put lipgloss on them. Gel in the boys hair and make them feel like little film-stars. We had a video made too so they felt really special. They were so cute. On the video the kids had to shout, ” We love One Friday”. The little one could not say it properly. Was so cute, honestly. Makes one want to get married and have my own!

Have a look at these beautiful pictures.

photoshoot for Valentines

February 13, 2017 Yasmin

Hello everyone

We all need a Valentines day Photoshoot! Its that time of year again where all the ladies and gents become so romantic and show one another just how they much we mean to each other.

You know us humans are strange creatures, we get stuck into routines and every day life takes over and we forget to show each other just how important we are. We shouldn’t though. Time passes too quickly. Before you know it we are old and time has disappeared.

Its good that we have such occasions to give us a little nudge. A nudge in the right direction to bring out the romantic side of us.

For those of us lucky enough to have that significant other in their life. Now is the time to spoil them.

المملكة المتحدة الزفاف تبادل لاطلاق النار مع ياسمين حسين

January 8, 2017 Yasmin

المتحدة للقيام تبادل لاطلاق النار الزفاف. كما هو الحال مع أي مكان في العالم، لذلك من الصعب الحصول على شخص ما أن تفعل شيئا المهنية وموثوقة ومتسقة. أنا كل هذه يسرني جدا أن أقول. سنوات من الممارسة مع التصوير.

حتى سمعتي العائدات لي، وأنا سعيد أن أقول!

في الصباح على الرغم من قلبي لم تغرق لكيري ولي كما فتحت السماء. لم لكن ليس لديهم ثقة في الطقس البريطاني. ومن التغييرات في قطرة من قبعة وكنت الاعتماد على هذا! صحيح أن كلامي فعلت وحصلنا على بعض الطلقات مذهلة من البحيرة والبجع فقط قرر أن يطير معا وهذا مجرد خلق الكمال الأصلي النار الزفاف. فقط ما أحب!

وأنا أحاول أن تجلب نوعا من الشعور التحرير في تبادل لاطلاق النار. عملاء يعتقدون أنهم يريدون التقليدي حقا لأن هذا هو ما يجعلها أكثر إثارة للاهتمام. ونحن دائما نعتقد اننا نعرف ما نريد ولكن عندما يقدم لنا شيئا مختلفا قليلا ثم، عادة، نحن نحب ذلك. وليس لأننا لم نكن نريد ذلك في المقام الأول. لمجرد أننا لم نفهم ذلك أو تخيل كيف سيكون. مرة واحدة في سياق ذلك الحين ونحن عموما مثل ذلك.

أنا أحب واحدة من كيري مع السيجارة تتدلى من فمها. في يوم تمنيت فعلا أن كنت قد أحضرت معي سترة جلدية معي وزوج من الأحذية. كيري يمكن أن يرتديها لهم. ان اطلاق النار لكنت قد حصلت كانت "الأشرار". ان الزي يكون لائقا للأي #nightclub في المملكة المتحدة أو دبي!

ذكرني تبادل لاطلاق النار لمجلة كنت أعمل forin دعا شلتنهام كوتسوولد أسلوب "أنا أطلق النار على نموذج جميل في جماعة مشابهة جلس على كرسي مع جاك الاتحاد! كان لكوينز اليوبيل.

التمتع الصور. أنا أحب اطلاق النار عليهم. لكم تمنيت لو كان لي الماكياج فريق معيthelipstickmakeupinstitute.
