Sweat?..Perspiration?
Ok....should i say fake sweat or fake perpspiration? Either way, I have a model that wants to shoot this look. Will a spray bottle with water work? Is there a mixture of something I can make or buy that will bead up? Nov 24 05 09:00 am Link Try using baby oil (I like the kind that is in a gel form like aloe vera), then mist with water.

Good luck G Nov 24 05 07:21 pm Link If you want to go the oil route, use an "oil sheen" spray. It goes on much more evenly and washes off much more easily. After using the oil sheen (it sprays on like hairspray), just flick or spray on some water and you're good to go!

If I want tears, I get a glass of water and put the "tears" on her cheek directly. Although a couple of models have offered to release a few of their own tears for photos...

I don't want them to really cry, but considering the work I'm doing, tears work on the photos. Thankfully a drop of water looks the same as a tear on a cheek... Nov 25 05 09:50 am Link I actually prefer ordinary tap water from a spray bottle. I like the fact that it goes on flat and dries unevenly, which is the way people really perspire. I have yet to meet anyone who sweats in perfectly rounded droplets, so why add something so obviously fake to an image I'm trying to convince you is really happening? Nov 25 05 12:57 pm Link |
