Justin was a very fun and enthusiastic model to work with. He was into the whole body painting experience and really got into character. I body painted him like a blue fire cat with a broken heart. The design incorporated graphic flames in place of stripes and the flame motif is echoed in his face painting. I'm posting a couple of picture of Justin to illustrate how lighting can really change the feel of a body paint photo shoot.
Tomorrow let's look at how props can change the feel of a body paint shoot.
RoByn Thompson is a Jersey Girl born and bred. After several futile attempts to escape to NYC, she has now finally embraced it. She loves (in alphabetical order) art, chocolate, magick, sex and sleep. She is curious. (cu•ri•ous–adjective : 1.eager to learn or know; inquisitive. 2. arousing or exciting speculation, interest, or attention through being inexplicable or highly unusual; odd; strange: a curious sort of person; a curious scene).
She paints people then shoots them, much like those tag and release programs. When not painting, shooting or sleeping she can sometimes be found singing loudly and off-key or dancing like a White girl.
She also loves Tom Robbin and Christopher Moore books. Her secret literary vices include Cosmo Magazine & Death Merchant books. Her favorite movies are 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Paco and her Magical Book. Musically, she's a Deadhead, loves Warren Zevon, Steve Forbert and Mike Oldfield. She is happiest playing with her computer, paints, camera, books and wrapped in her Hello Kitty blankie. She can be distracted with chocolate and shiny things.
