“ Joseph Hinds is a makeup artist for film, television and print. Since the beginning of his career in 2012, he has had the opportunity to contribute his talents to some of the largest shows on network television and theatrical releases while working on editorial, fine art and commercial photography projects. 

Joseph’s expertise ranges from beauty to prosthetics, allowing him to understand the specific needs for a wide range of projects while cohesively bridging the two worlds together. He has recently stepped into the role of Beauty Editor for Ark Magazine where he is excited to create content for the magazine focusing on clean beauty while morphing the traditional concepts of product features and tutorials.

In 2022 he launched Cindy Cinema to produce and direct independent films with a hyperfocus on queer storytelling. His directorial debut PHANTASM  - A Magic Show in Three Acts premiered on ARK Magazine ahead of the issue003 release. “
