Sylvi did my hair and make up for my wedding, and I was so pleased with the results. She gave me the natural look I was after, and was so calm throughout the morning while we were getting ready. I would definitely recommend Sylvi and am so pleased I booked her for my big day. More...

Sylvi has a very relaxing and calming nature about her which was great for me on my wedding day! My hair and makeup was completely natural which is exactly what I asked for. Highly recommended.

A most enjoyable day...Face Painting Workshop at the Brighton Dome.
We were a small group and so there was a lively atmosphere. Sylvi was good enough to offer herself as a model which was most amusing...but she still managed to offer constructive advice whilst being painted lavishly twice over! A good sport !
The insight and hints and tips from Sylvi as well as from other attendees were very helpful as I want to try and get work in this field.

Sylvi was essential for the success of our music videos for our band The Iron Boot Scrapers and also for when I needed make up for my stilt walking company.
Her make up is always imaginative and spot on with the theme of the shoot, and she is very attentive to maintaining the individual make ups during the day.
I would highly recommend her.

Q&As

Putting your subjects at ease. Good composition and good lighting.

What style of photography would you prefer? Do you have examples of pictures you really love? Are you looking to change the style of photography? It's useful for me to have as much information as possible.
