Body Paint

The wardrobe you paint on — pure editorial artistry.

Body paint is the most editorial shoot on this site: the artist replaces the stylist, and the wardrobe is pigment. Rainbow gradients, metallic finishes, snake-scale patterning — plan the design on paper first, budget three hours of painting, and photograph the process as well as the result.

Hard side light shows the painted contours; even light shows the design. Keep the set warm for the model's comfort, seal the paint so it survives poses, and shoot the details — a painted shoulder blade can be a stronger frame than the full figure. Tasteful posing keeps the genre art.
