Backstage

Here are some shots for a photo shoot with Daniel Mora.

The photo shoot was carried out in all external, Parco Ducale in Parma, daylight to a late summer day.
For makeup Eilidh, wanting to obtain a quite natural, I made a clear basis on the face, shaded pink cheeks and cheekbones with a natural and edged black eye, pencil (eyeliner) el'eyeliner lower eyelid removal on the upper eyelid, just above the root of the eyelashes.
I used a purple in poor enough to give off a color tone to the eyes, delicatamanete brushing the upper eyelid, starting from the eye closest to the nose and blend it with a white eye shadow outside corner of the eye, near the end of the arch eyebrows.
The same eyebrows were re-redefined the use of a dark brown pencil, also to make the transition to a nicer hair wig blacks used shortly after, very good in giving a stronger tone to the character and remove it so decided by the fund, Very colorful and bright.
For the second series of shots instead, made towards the sunset, we went back to the classic style, Eilidh for removing the wig to regain its natural brown color, tune with the background color of the trees, and focusing instead on the lips, on with a bright red.

The tricolor as Italy – Performance of figurative bodypainting.

Saturday 7 May 2011, second day of the inaugural European Photography 2011 (whose theme this year is' Green White Red: a picture of Italy '), will produce a living picture on the grace of the female figure, to celebrate the Tricolore and the 150th of’ Unification of Italy.

Three colors that convey different images and feelings take on a body model and will wear the new and the old, uniting under one banner all the places and the people of our great country.

The performance will take place at the exhibition space in Via dei Due Gobbi, 3 pm 18.00 where you can watch the entire process of project execution.

Clean and bright chrome exterior will not only cars and bikes, but also many girls, items, airbrushing on helmets, tattoo art e, inevitable, Bodypainting. All this and more in the edition 2010 of “Thunderclap” , held on 16 and 17 October in Montichiari (BS) at the Exhibition Center of the Garda, and this has seen a wide audience of users (many machines and custom bikes in the parking lot of the fair also) , fans of the sector, and why not, curious.

As always present and Carla Moreno Custom Publishing, and their legendary staff, who paid tribute to all the visitors not only with their kindness, but also of many numbers Biker’s Life and Cruisin’, one of the leading publications in the field.

A wealth of initiatives has made this unique event, including the National Contest Customizer, challenge that has seen the best motorcycle manufacturers and as special and unique creations spledinde pull motion dream; a small rock festival; a large area dedicated to the graphic arts who hosted a contest of airbrushing on helmets and shows bodypainting.

But what is an aperitif painting ?
By this time a bit’ I wanted a humorous show of our usual aperitifs between bodypainters in Milan, at every meeting where there is a new working group.

So this time, hosted by the Bar White Parco Sempione in Milan (and a little’ chew mosquito, actually) we have found a new reason to attract the attention of those present, Dony in the transformation of the Riddler in a pretty pink kitty. A team with no specific plan, in which each participant has improvised at the time of its creation,.
Appointment to the next drink kids !

The question I most often is made by the observer (sometimes a bit’ naively) while performing a bodypaint is' What colors are?’ – 'But then come off with water ?’

Having reassured the public and shaping, maybe with a hint of irony ( 'Sure, with some’ acetone is it all away ') Switch off what is often there, with some dismay of the viewer to know that just a little’ soap and water can undermine all the work within minutes of our day.

But we've never really wondered what we in the colors we use, and if we can reproduce ? In fact, the costs of the colors continuously increasing (wafers of AQUACOLOR 4mg in traditional colors, I found yesterday by a dealer authorized to 5,50 Euro l'una!) is pushing more people to walk the path of experimentation.

For better or for worse.

While using food coloring (that plus the easiest to find – be sure not thinking of coloring the skin by using acrylic, true ?!) is the relative security to avoid allergic reactions and skin toxicity (according to the logic of 'if we can eat, surely we can also spread it on ') you still need to pay particular attention that the product is also easy to remove, and do not leave undesirable spots on the skin.
