So.... had some friends over for the weekend.

~quietchildae was conned into a "short, simple proof of concept hybrid blacklight bodypaint nude figure scape study photo shoot."

Yeah. Riiiiiiiight.

A short body paint for me... done in under 1 hour. Still don't know how that happened.

Photo by ^wynnesome


Post production:
Level adjustment in RAW. No Photo Shop.

Yes, you people - this is a photograph of a body paint.

Title is a quotation by Carl Sagan.

i think you did a really great job with the shadows blending against the black and blues of the body paint, the contrast against the background really works well as a whole , its a very striking image.

the gas clouds on her body are blended with just the right mix of colors to look realistic gas cloud. the colors and the blending are great.

the only draw back that i see, (and that is a small one) that the large Star burst shape right above her thigh, just needs a smidgen more blending in the center, you can see were the brush stops. unlike any other part of body paint

Thank you!
It looked good under regular light - just dint' have the intensity of color that the blacklight brings out.

If Sagan were still alive, he'd totally have this up in his office :)

This is in blacklight? I don't see any signs of that.
