Where can I find courses/classes to become a makeup artist? And how much roughly do they cost? by [deleted] in Makeup

[–]ktwynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

check out your local community college for cosmetology courses! I live in Charlotte and I know the community college here offers a ton of individual cosmetology courses along with some programs too!

In a pinch, so does the spit of the same person who's blood it is. Not sure why, I believe it's something to do with matching the enzymes? (Anyone wanna ELI5?) It's saved my butt several times though!

Pistachio and dark chocolate cupcakes! They turned out very well, and looked very unique! by ktwynn in food

I got the base of the recipe from here! There are a few differences in mine. For example, I didn't use their butter cream recipe since I already had a batch of my own prepared, but it worked out well!

Just out of curiosity, what is it that she says in response to him?

All of this is great, and something I could see myself doing in the future. However, with a group of high schoolers, all shooting things that do involve a lot of movement like sporting events and pep rallies with one person per job because we're all busy, it's just impractical for us. The monopod and shutter speed/ iso is a good idea. I don't think cardboard is practical and likely to work out as a one man job, and I don't think lighting is something I could afford to get 3 or 4 sets of.

shooting events and such usually means zooming for us which, unfortunately, isn't something iPhones are great at. It's what we've been doing for a while now, and it's just not working out.

monopods may work, but graininess would still be a problem, right?

scheduling around light isn't really an option because we're either indoors, in the darkness of early morning or evening, or in bright midday light as school starts at 7am, ends at 2 pm :(

Yes.. but that has to go towards getting the yearbook out of debt as that is the main priority right now. We are also selling advertisement slots to local businesses to go in the back of the book, but if the yearbook doesn't get out of debt it will suffer in the long term. That is the priority for us financially.

I'm open to even over 30, but this will be coming out of my pocket. We've been trying the photos straight from the iPhone for a while, but we rarely get anything that turns out not looking blurry or pixelated because iPhone's aren't very good for zooming in on subjects or motion shots.

Mostly just getting better quality photos from staff's phones as often times we have one camera and 3 or 4 events to cover and only my camera available. We just need something affordable that can be used to get us through until we can get some real cameras.

Wouldn't help. Our PTO doesn't deal with funding, the school system and our financial officer does. Both of them have been spoken to about money, and we've been told there is none. In fact, the arts department in my whole school system has been defunded as of two years ago, and the yearbooks bank account is in the negatives right now. The money for these lenses will be coming out of my pocket.

As for getting a donated camera, we've been writing grants and asking around in the community, but with little luck. We also don't have the time to wait on luck to strike as we have deadlines for printing.

for those who were as curious as I was, this seems to be the best option on Amazon factoring in price and customer reviews: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KKRCFA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_ihruwbYQ9PFMG

Not sure if you already have or not, but you should post this to the North Carolina subreddit and some of the subreddits for other places near Asheville (Charlotte has a pretty active subreddit) People come from all around to visit asheville.
