Had a Go at Bodypainting!

Well...ever since I first came across bodypainting and began photographing it a couple of years ago...I have been under a bit of pressure to give it a go but to do 2 creative things in sucession eg painting and then photographing is pushing the boundaries of doing either job well so having seen a couple of Tim Grattons workshops and with Wendy Fantasia offering an informative beginners course I gave in and spent the day painting the lovely Stacey...and it was loads of fun!....even better when Jason arrived with his camera and it was like a holiday for me!!...I took a couple of shots for myself and am sharing as I would highly recomend giving it a go!

White Swan

3 Hours and 4 Looks

Had a bit of a challenge on Thursday with a 3 hour time slot with my favourite model and a loose plan as to how much we could get through in that time....luckily everything went smoothly and we managed to go from the "White Swan" to the "Black Swan" on to a Model with Painting to a Painted model with Painting!...got some fabulous shots and tried out my new lights which had arrived the day before and hopefully everyone got where they were supposed to be on time!!xx
