Just in case you were wondering, I am NOT the model in the picture, because, you know, they're all different women.
That question always stumps me.

One more, just because I love this set.
Model: Van
Snow Demon
(Sometimes my ideas simply evolve out of my need to see certain textures together. I wanted to do a clay/cracked earth skin treatment with flour and water, and I had this weird medical back brace with lots of straps and rope. The torn up skirt was an afterthought, and everything was used together simply because they were all white and all a version of decay. The end result to me was some sort of amazing kung fu fantasy god/demon anime character. I recommend you look at them full size if you can.)
Godlike modeling: Van
Study in Motion
Very simple, very messy set up. The model stood still while I made piles of sifted flour on various body parts, then she moved her various body parts. My biggest fear was that the studio lights would ignite the flour dust and we would explode. Thankfully that did not happen. If you have time to view these at full size I highly recommend it!
I would also like to note that my studio ceiling is only 6 1/2 feet high. The model was tiny, which gave her the ability to jump in my tiny studio. She’s amazing.
I have no explanation for this set except maybe I’ve played too much Silent Hill, although I can tell you I did shoot through the glass vase again for the blur.
