Model: Terri Lynn Smith MUA: Courtney Zepeda
Dani: So, I just
need to start this interview with my usual greeting to you: “MADISOOOOON!!!!” I don’t know why I always
feel compelled to yell out your name…
Madison: I like
your enthusiasm. J
Dani: Your
presence sort of demands enthusiasm. We all get excited when we know you’re
going to be at a shoot!
You are the perfect person to interview about beauty,
because beauty is what you create with your images. It’s not just the shot you
take, but what you do with it afterwards. How did you get started with
photography?
Madison: Most
photographers learn photography first, and editing second. For me, it was the
other way around. I’ve been manipulating photos for years. One of my earliest
masterpieces involved me compositing my mom into a picture with Pierce Brosnan.
We got such a laugh out of that! For a while, I had aspirations of being a book
cover artist, but got frustrated working with stock images, so I decided to buy
a DSLR and learn photography so that I could create my own catalog of stock. I
never expected to fall in love with photography the way that I have, nor did I
think I would enjoy photographing people as much as I do.
Model: Ophelia PopTart MUA: Dani Lazaro
Dani: It is SO
much fun to watch you at a shoot. I sometimes see those moments where your
internal wheels are spinning. You get this very intense look on your face, and
that seems to be where your idea is born. What is going on inside your mind at
these times?
Madison: Meetups
are challenging because I don’t necessarily know what the model, wardrobe, or
makeup will look like ahead of time. I don’t walk into those situations with a
clear vision. So I like to sit back and watch for a few minutes. I’m looking
primarily for movement and expression, and thinking of ways I can transform
what’s in front of me in post-processing.
Model: Emily Elizabeth Burns
Dani: I don’t
ever see you shoot any one particular type of person – one body size or beauty
esthetic – so what is it that attracts your camera to a person? Where are you
finding their beauty?
Madison: I love
photographing all types of people. To me, beauty is less about having the
perfect figure or flawless skin and more about being comfortable in your own
skin. Honesty, intensity, confidence. That’s what entices me to click the
shutter.
Model: Stacey Marchio Johnson MUA: Dani Lazaro
Dani: You
yourself seem to opt for a fresh faced look, which not only suits you but is
very much in style. What routine do you focus on for your own beauty?
Madison: I prefer
not to wear makeup while I’m shooting because it inevitably ends up all over
the back of my camera. I do like to enhance my eyes, though. My favorite
product is Urban Decay’s original Naked palette.
Dani: We both
have a passion for empowering young people of all types it seems. What do you
wish you could tell every young person out there who struggles with their self
image?
Madison: It’s
hard to answer that without sounding cliché. I would tell them not to compare
themselves to others, but rather to embrace the qualities that make them who
they are, because that is truly special. As a photographer, I’ve learned just
how much retouching is involved in creating commercial images, even with
“classically beautiful” models. It’s an artform, not an attainable real-life
standard.
Model: Bellah Jaimie
Dani: We are also
very close in age! You know where I’m going with this, don’t you? The awful
trends that were so hot when we were young. I had a love affair with the worst
looks – navy eyeliner, neons, huge hair….what kinds of things were you rocking?
And which trend do you look back on and cringe?
Madison: Oh, I
definitely had the huge hair with high, teased bangs. And earcuffs. Remember
those?!
Dani: I plead the
5th on earcuffs!!!!
I idolized Molly Ringwald as a teen (didn’t we all?), and
I’ve told you on many occasions that I think you look like her. Do you get that
a lot? Do you like that comparison?
Madison: I have
heard that before, and I love the comparison. I was a huge fan of the brat
pack. Rob Lowe made my heart pitter patter on many a lonely night.
Dani: Oh, he was a cutie, wasn’t he? Still is!
Those of us that have the pleasure of working with you kind
of perch on the edge of our seats, just waiting for one of your edited images,
knowing we’re in for something truly amazing. Where does your inspiration come
from?
Model: Savannah Lambert MUA: Dani Lazaro
Madison: I do
tend to keep people waiting… inspiration doesn’t always come quickly; I find
it’s better if I don’t force it. It usually starts with the subject’s
expression, and I build on the image from there. I do a lot of experimentation
as well and wait for those “aha!” moments. When I get so excited by an idea
that I lose all track of time working on it, I know I have something special.
Dani: Any dream
subjects? Who would you love to get in front of your camera that you haven’t
yet, famous or non?
Madison: No one
particular comes to mind, but I’d love to work with more male subjects, and try
some grittier images.
Model: Ayla Claypool
Dani: Last
question! Let’s say you are in charge of my creative side for the day, and we
have a fantastic model working for us. What kind of look do you instruct me to
do? Smokey eye? Classic pinup? Something a bit dark? The sky’s the limit!
And….go!
Madison: If the
sky’s the limit, let’s do something funky and sci-fi like with white skin,
smokey eyes, and wild hair. And full on body paint!
What can I say Madison, BRILLIANT
