Looking at lighting with Justin's body painting photos

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.

Amanda was one of the first models that I shot in my studio.

She's a dancer & it shows. The models get to listen to the music that they like while we shoot. Amanda chose Billie Holliday.

We listen at Pandora.com, it's a great service. You enter your favorite artist or song and they play music that is similar. You can give the songs a thumbs up or down and the service learns what your personal tastes are. It can also put all your favorites together in a mix. Since I found Pandora, I don't listen to regular radio anymore. Oh, and it's free!

I'm not digging the backdrop so much. Oh well, you live and you learn, hopefully!
