Autumn Fairy Body Paint

It's Foxy Squire again on today's random body paint image!

It's Spring but we've got an Autumn Fairy Body Paint Picture.

I know it's Spring. I can feel it in my sinuses and other places. ;)
The model if Foxxy Squire and she's looking rather demure as an autumn leaf fairy.
I crafted the wings and headpiece out of 'silk flower' leaves, the collar is glued to her. Her bodice / corset/ whatever is body painted as are her panties and stockings. I really like how the patterning came out.
I know you've seen images of this shoot before. It's what happens when I grab images at random. Who knows what we'll have tomorrow.
If there's something you'd like to see, just let me know!

Abstract Body Painting

In this body painting image, I was playing with textures, patterns and colors. I love to play and experiment. "Experiments in Body Painting" sounds like a B-movie.
What I was going for was the idea that her skin was cracking to reveal all these different colors, patterns and textures that were inside of her; that we are all much more colorful within than we appear to be on the surface.

troll with body paint.

Yes, that is a troll watching her. Yes, she is a fairy. Or at least is wearing dollar store fairy wings. This is just so many flavors of wrong.

Lindsy the ballet dancer giraffe body paint

Here's some pics of Lindsy's body painting where you can see the giraffe-y parts. Gotta keep good on those pinky-swears!

Jessica with a slinky

I've got students for a face painting class showing up shortly (btw, I am more than willing to travel to give face and/or body painting classes, so let me know if you'd like to have one) so this will be a quick post. Here's Jessica, with a slinky. I like how her stripes echo the colors of the slinky.
I like to give my models props because it gives them something to do whilst they are posing.

Findley silver body pain photoshoot

Here are 2 images from a silver metallic body paint shoot that I did.

My first body painting photo shoot

My lovely model is Patrice.

I shot her up on my roof. I really like how the metallic colors blend together and how the design echoes the lines of her body. While I had done a lot of bodypainting, she was the first model that I photographed. The shoot took place about a year and a half ago. I also like the color that the fabrics inject into the images.

It's tomorrow's post. The early edition!

I know that I said I was going to post new body painting images daily to this blog. I'm trying to keep a commitment that I made. I've got a killer day tomorrow. A business meeting @ 8am followed by treking up to the Bronx where I'm a volunteer face painting kids with special needs.

I know that I'm not likely to get to post before I run out in the morning so I'm posting early. It still counts, right?

Anyway, here are some pictures of Bobby (you can see other pictures of the body paint shoot we did last year in an earlier posting) and the infamous plastic dinosaurs. Come to think of it, Bobby might be infamous as well. ;) The first image was shot using my lensbaby. It's a funky kinda lense that has a single moveable focus point.

Bobby, a body painting of the day...

Bobby was my model about a year ago. I'm body painting and shooting her again today. I think there might be plastic dinosaurs showing up at the shoot.

Most of the images of her last shoot were lost in the great harddrive crash of '08.
