In the meantime, last night i went through some of my body painting photos and chose 5 pictures i have yet to post that are more "close ups" then full body shots.
I wanted to share them with you:

...I also wanted to share with you an "out take" photo that i came across last night and knew i had to post:
Powah!
This is a photo i snapped of my model Blissful Hope as we had finished up with the shoot. She had washed her face and put her clothing on and was struck by how the body painting suddenly looked like fierce tattoo sleeves with her tank top on. so she posed just like that and insisted i get my camera out and snap one. I love it! It just reminds me that granted this body painting/photo project takes a lot of energy to generate but I have so much fun doing these shoots!
I have another pregnant body painting shoot scheduled for this Saturday inside T.Ruth Artspace gallery, so i am excited and looking forward to the weekend.
Thus far this body painting project has been a fascinating adventure. I am thrilled to have gotten to know the women who volunteered to be a part of the project. Their personal strengths and beauty have lent so much amazing energy- its extremely inspiring for me. I'm excited to see what the next step/level to this project might entail.
Id also like to give thanks, praise and many blessings to Tiffany Ruth, the owner of T.Ruth Art space where i have been painting and photographing my models. Tiffany is currently in the hospital due to medical complications. She should be released in a few days but I'm asking for those who can spare some good vibe to send it her way. She is an amazing and dear friend, strong and beautiful independant woman and an amazing asset and Jewel to the artistic community. I give thanks to her for all that she has done for me! I feel truly blessed to have her presence in my life.
Much love to all!

These photos are some of your best yet. You've really tapped into each one's personalities with your body art. I hope you get to have a show with all of these. They'd be breathtaking together. Haha, that last picture is great. I'm a washable tattoo girl myself but I'd love to try some body paint for tattoo sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI agree with these photos being some of the best (so far!)of the body painting photos! It's been amazing to follow this project and to see how much you've developed, refined and perfected your style. I can't wait to see the rest of this project. You must be absolutely exhausted after a photo session like this!
ReplyDeleteWow, your body paintings are beautiful. I love all of your line work and how very intricate they are. Great choice in choosing black and white.
ReplyDeleteYour hard work paid off becuase the photos came out awesome.
These close ups are amazing. I love the interplay between you and the models. I look forward to where it leads you and your models!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kindness and support! Im so glad to hear these new releases are being enjoyed. Its a good thing to go back to previous photo shoots and look at the photos that i have yet to post- more often then not there are a few that i find that hadn’t caught my eye before that i end up wanting to share.
ReplyDeleteMore to come!
Best wishes and much love,
