However, I think your lighting was off on No. 5. You probably know a lot better than me, but the idea of shooting these body paintings is to make them look as realistic as possible. I get what you were doing in No. 5, making the lighting look like it was coming from that overhead light, but the way it worked, it put shadows directly under her breasts, outlining them, and putting highlights on her nipples. In other words, it was really obvious that this was bodypainting. Aside from that, like I said, a fabulous set. Especially your outdoors shots.
And despite having said what I said about 5, I have to say I really like the rim effect in No. 1 along her backside. Great job all around!
Really off the charts fantastic on these... the paint, the lighting, props, etc.
I agree about the lighting on (5) though.

Number (2) is a great example of how tattoos can hinder a model. It is a great photo, but the tattoo "dates" her if you know what I mean. No tattoos like this in the era you are portraying.
Nothing against tattoos per se (I have one), but just saying that it hinders the reality here.
All the way gorgeous in every aspect, i totally dig this, congrats to everybody involved: Photographer, MUA and models. Absolutely fantastic work i love it :-)
Very dramatic display of great skill here. If I may: How much of the body paint is done in post-production - if any; and how much time might it take a MUA to complete a model? This is all new to me and I find your work really impressive.
