Documentary mixed media photography


For the past several years I've become intrigued with bodypainting and the world that revolves around this art form. For centuries, mankind has utilized body paint for rituals, decoration, theatrical applications and as a celebration of the human form as a palette. I was already doing limited application on friends or models but then I met Scott Fray and Madelyn Greco who created Living Art America. They introduced me to the global family of bodypainters that careen outside reality.

I enhance each one with surface creative elements so that the embellishments accelerate the viewers? concentration on details.
