Art Is Beauty - Part 1 | El Paso, Fort Bliss Beauty Portrait Photographer

When I put out a casting call for models for my Grimm fairy tale series, I received an e-mail from a lovely woman with some incredible body art. She was the inspiration for an entirely different kind of creative series: Art is Beauty. This series will serve to showcase the gorgeous body art of the subject in both studio sets and on-location.

The first part of the series was shot exclusively in studio using a single flash head and softbox, with a reflector positioned for fill light. The wardrobe is provided by the model with the exception of the black tulle skirt, and makeup services were provided by Emily D. Vinyl of Beauty is Art. It was my first shoot in the new studio space, and I was favorably impressed with the variety of shots I was able to get for being in such close quarters. I am looking forward to Part 2 of the series, scheduled for 6/2/13.
