Faceless
(This is one of the few shoots where I actually had a specific concept based on the model not being terribly fond of her own face. I think she had a wonderful face, right out of a Vermeer painting, but she did not agree. The directive was to be “caught” in various fashion items, where everything is revealed except her face.)
I rarely get to shoot beautiful men, it’s fun!

For the curious, the model is covered in child safe glitter paint. I’ve found most child safe, water washable craft paints to be really fun to work with on human skin because they fall apart almost instantly and are easily affected by a spritz of water. In the unedited shots that paint was blue but I didn’t like it, so I changed the color in Photoshop. This is one instance where I did use computer trickery to adjust the color and completely change the original mood of the shot. There is also a gold version.
Weirdness for weirdness sake. No PS effects, shot through a dirty shower curtain.
