Tina Hessell

Reviews

“I have worked with Tina on many photography and video shoots over the past 10 Years and could not speak more highly of Tina’s work, professionalism and attention to detail. Tina has a wonderful way of making talent feel comfortable and relaxed on set and always has them looking amazing.“
Jake Keane Director of Photography 33Creative

I have been lucky to work with the lovely Tina Hessel for nearly ten years and look forward to many more.
Tina is always punctual, prepared, and adaptable - no matter the pace or pressure of the day. Beyond her expert technical skill, Tina is a breath of fresh air on any set. She is extremely experienced, and an absolute pro at making people look and feel fabulous. It is always a pleasure to see how talent feel immediately at ease in her chair.
Tina is collaborative, warm, and genuinely a wonderful person to be around, which is why both clients and crew love working with her. Tina elevates every project she touches, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

It was a pleasure to work with Tina on a few jobs recently. One of the hidden skills of a great HMUA is to help the talent relax before they step in front of the camera, and Tina did this as well as making them look amazing. She was also incredible at keeping an eye on the talent being photographed whilst also prepping the next person, moving back and forth so that we could keep shooting without delays and keep on schedule. Tina is a joy to work with and I highly recommend her. Jesse Taylor jessetaylorphotography.com.au

I went to Tina for a personal make-up session and to get some advice about my ‘look’ given that I am an older woman and wanted to adjust my make up style to compliment the way I am now, rather than the way I was 20 years ago!
Tina was so lovely, had plenty of great tips, listened to and understood my needs and my perspective. She was able to suggest inexpensive cosmetics that were easy to use and achieved a nice natural look and then took me through a more enhanced style for evening.
She was professional and accommodating as well as being warm and friendly. I love that she also shares her knowledge so readily and clearly loves what she does! Taylor Owynns

Tina is a true professional. She brings great experience to every project and works at a high level. We regularly book Tina for our shoots and will continue to do so – it’s always good times on set with Tina! James Tyrrell optikaproduction.co

We have had the privilege of working with Tina on our last two shoots. RMK originally recommended her for the first of these, and we had such a fantastic experience that we asked to have her back for the next one. Both these shoots were hugely ambitious – capturing up to 18 minutes of content within one day, and working with up to 10 actors. Tina worked her magic with no problems within our very tight schedules – beautiful, high quality work that couldn’t be faulted. And such a pleasure to have on set – a calm, positive presence that the cast and crew all appreciated. We look forward to having a long working relationship with Tina. Lucy Clements, realplaymedia

TINA – Or go-to girl! A bombshell of a Makeup Artist and an absolute gun on set. Cannot recommend her more! Always a pleasure to work with and always making our talent look and feel fabulous. Chantelle twogiraffes.com.au

Tina is so professional, trustworthy and kind! Tina was my MUA for a TVC, everyone on set loved her. My hair and make up was so divine, however it was also the integrity and commitment that shone, too. Tina is a star in my eyes, I’d hire her again and I will!

Tina has been my preferred make-up artist for many years. She consistently achieves beautiful results for subjects of any age or skin type and has the experience and insight to relax and connect with clients,. Tina always sticks to the brief and gives 110% every shoot. Tina is always a delight to have on set. Vicki Skarratt vicspics.com

Yes, we all want to be fun to work with but when you’re in the chair, receiving the make-up and hair styling, you want to know that you’ve hired a hair and make-up artist with the depth of experience to understand light and shade, colour palettes and rogue hairs!

I needed someone with the skills of Tina when I was launching my new 2021 look for my acting agent. Tina took me from a natural, healthy look for my 8X10 shots to a funky, colourful vibrancy that was never overstated, for a promotional shot. The photos from this shoot are easily the B_E_S_T I have ever taken. Tina worked simpatico with my amazing photographer Vicki Skarratt, to make the session very worthwhile AND tonnes of fun.

Tina was a pleasure to work with. She was happy to create several looks and able to easily adapt to the adverse weather conditions during our outdoor shoot. Would highly recommend Tina and would love to work with her again! Katie Glover kingliving.com.au

Tina is an absolute delight to work with time and time again.
She is professional, prompt and speedy without sacrificing the quality of her work. Her calm manner is an added bonus amongst what is often a sea of stress in this role.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hard working, down-to-earth, super star addition to their crew or event. We have used her several times and certainly will again in future! Jd producinator.com

Tina was fantastic to work with. A long list of talent and a tight time frame puts everyone under pressure but Tina was unfazed. She managed the day with great skill and, thankfully, a great sense of humour. I would definitely recommend Tina and look forward to working with her again. Tim Anderson burninghouse.com.au
