The GOLDEN AGE OF TELEVISION

I recently attended the U.K.'s biggest body paint convention, Paintopia. While there I wanted to body paint a design that reminded me of the television shows from the golden age of TV in the 1950's. The challenge was to body paint the model in shades of black, white and gray - so that it would look like she stepped right out of a television show and was walking around in our world.

Even though this looks like a black and white photo, the model was body painted in black, white and gray tones and photographed in front of a gray backdrop.

This image of my design photographed by David Cook shows the contrast of her body painting against the color of the real world.
