CURRENT:
Booking TFP Body Paint Models for January and February Rsvl/Sacto and Vacaville locations
MODELS:
I am kicking the level of my work up. I need professionals - experience is a major plus. I need models who can bring it. It's just not worth my time to paint a pretty face, my art needs an artist.
Unless you hire me generally I entertain your concepts only after I work with you in an ongoing relationship. Modeling body paint, really creating body painting photographs is a marriage of arts and talents. You bring the modeling talent I bring the painting artwork.
If you are talented, beautiful and mature, if you understand how to create art with what you do as a model I am a happy to discuss working together. I prefer going collaborations as opposed to one time shoots.
I don't work with escorts on site. I will meet prior to paint/shoots.
I work with artists - models and photographers, MUA and stylists.
MODELS UNDER AGE 18::
I do not add/friend models or do full body paint with models under age 18. I actually prefer models over 21. However I get many request from young models - I do work with minors for face art, extreme face makeup art, FX work (like zombie shoots), cosplay and such that allows for extreme makeup or partial body paint that allows for costuming and clothing.
PHOTOGRAPHERS:
I give consideration to trade work based on the project. I find concept shoots require more of everyone involved, certainly more of my time and expense. So I prefer not to TF on those complicated concepts. However -
I am interested in shoots that are interesting and will produce amazing concepts. Professionals who are talents as artists and want to make amazing art are my preferred "partners in crime".
My artworks, as a major focus in the final photograph is as valuable as your art.
For trade work request equal copyright with photographers. And require licensing rights. Ethical artists who are photographers understand this.
I will discuss all trade, but I am for hire.
HIRE:
My rates are reasonable and affordable. I use classic brush and airbrush to create artwork. I am not a MUA nor a stylist. I do extreme makeup and body painting, along with some FX makeup effects.
I am very experienced. References upon request.
I am on time, and come prepared, willing to stay as needed.
If you want body painting, please don't settle and don't DIY, hire a professional and experienced body painter. Find out how that makes all the difference. Out of the area I am happy to refer you to artists. Call me and we can discuss any project.
