The Contact Sheet

Selects from a season of brides.

A contact sheet of looks, printed as they come off the shoot. Hover a frame to bring it up in the light — the circled ones are the selects.

Bride being helped into her veil in a dark plum dressing room — Frame 01 Bridal, aisle-ready. Deep plum smoke, gilded lid, lashes set for the whole day.

Makeup artist working on a gilded eye during a studio editorial sitting — Frame 02 Editorial sitting. Camera-first makeup, coloured and contoured for hard studio light.

Private makeup lesson at a lit vanity, brushes and palettes on the table — Frame 03 Private lesson. One-to-one at the mirror, technique you can repeat at home.

Finishing touch applied before a wedding, veil catching late afternoon light — Frame 04 The morning of. The last touches before the veil goes on.

Gold circles mark the frames that made the issue — the orchid eye, the gilded lid, the light that does the rest.

Cover Story

Cleveland's most photographed faces trust the orchid.

Midnight Orchid is a makeup studio working out of Cleveland — bridal beauty, editorial sittings and private lessons. Everything is built for the camera first: skin left looking like skin, colour deep enough to survive a dark ballroom, gold placed where it catches the light.

“The orchid eye — plum smoke, a gilded centre, and lashes that hold until the last dance.”

Brides can book a trial before the day itself, so nothing gets decided in the chair on the morning. Editorial sittings are booked for shoots and portraits. Lessons are for anyone who wants to do their own face better than they do now.
