Kali

Mountain

(The reason the blacks are so rich is because I covered her in Bag Balm and then painted her black.)

Rorschach Test: Do you see a nude woman?

Bird

Gorgeous posture collar by Ego Assassin. I have to use it at least once a year. It’s a little hard to see in these shots though, you’ll just have to trust that it’s beautiful.

The Two of Us Part II

This shoot was split into two sections, one where the models wrapped around and climbed on each other, and one of symmetry where they mimicked or mirrored their poses

Liquid Gold

This was one of the worst photo shoots to clean up. The model is covered in gold oil based body paint and honey. It was sticky and water resistant and the shower at the studio was pretty scary. I had to lay down a trail of plastic garbage bags so she could shuffle and drip her way to the shower. My models are the BEST!

Tangled

I cannot remember what I covered this poor model in, but I think it was very messy. Prune juice maybe?

Milk

I love Lilly so much.

Red Meat

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.
