Body Painting on the Island #2

Photo #2 taken at Edwin Soriano's Artistika Meet Up in Galveston. This one is a composite of a body painted super hero and a public domain image from NASA. Lighting was a speed light in a 26" octa from above and another speed light shot into a white background, which made it pretty easy to extract the model.

Body Painting on the Island #1

Photo above was taken two weeks ago at Edwin Soriano's Artistika Meet Up in Galveston. Edwin's a talented photographer and artist who used his skills at this event for airbrushing and make up for five body painted models -- this one a Sea Goddess. Lighting was a speed light in a 26" octa from above and another speed light at 1/64 power behind her to spread a little splash of light on the black background. When processing these files I discovered a blue and green texture that matched the make up perfectly, so I blended that into the splash of light on the background. I used that in soft light blend mode at 75% and blurred it slightly to leave just the color, no real texture.
