"Black Light Bodyscapes"
When I first saw these works I thought that it was just a photograph thats been placed through photoshop for the landscapes on the body but as I began to read the entry passages about the work I found out that the work of art is actually a photo of models who were painted on. Meaning every landscape that appears on the models body isn't work done through photoshop but is actually painted upon the model.
Each photo consist of a model in the dark who has been painted upon by a type of paint that is able to glow/show in the dark/black light. Each model also consists of a different type of landscape. After searching up the artist and finding his original website I found a quote from him that talks about his own work which says, "Black Light Bodyscapes combines the beauty of the female form with the splendor of God's creations found in this world and worlds beyond." Once I read what the artist had to say about his work I was able to see what his work means which is to express both of God's beautiful creations, Man Kind and Nature.
Each photo that I look at reminds me of how different and unique each person can be as well as the real life images that surround you, such as the landscapes (sunsets, waterfalls, storms, etc.). I found his works interesting because of how it combines two different art techniques within one piece, painting and photography.
