The artist

“I don’t make a Candace Jones look. I make how I feel.”

Candace Jones is a Birmingham makeup and SFX artist working across glamour, character and conceptual self-portraiture. The work begins as instinct rather than instruction: an inner state translated onto the face, photographed, and allowed to exist exactly once.
