I am usually not a big fan of the gray and silver family of color. I typically prefer bright saturated colors. I do like how the silver mesh fabric almost makes the image look grainy.
Literally and figuratively. Yes, that is a grill sheet rolled up on her head. Did you really need to ask? FYI, my studio is a non-smoking space but we were outside for the shoot. Smoking is bad. It causes cancer. Cancer kills people. It makes their loved ones very sad. Simplistically explained but true.
I have fun shooting with my red rope lights. They provide the only lighting for this shot. It's interesting to me how they reflect off of the metallic of the body paint. This is another image from the mardi gras in ferngully shoot.
I'm just grabbing images at random and managed to get another picture of Nova at the beach. It's always great to do a body painting shoot at the beach. We have a nude beach about an hour from here. Getting the net was his idea and I really like the patterning and texture that it added. It was interesting going into my local Party City store with a guy painted blue and green.
Here's another picture of Nova. I painted a thin wash of silver over his blue/green design. I love the texture in this body paint image. I also love how reflective the silver bodypaint is. Tell me what you like or don't like.
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.
