Body Paint:
This image was one of the first in the series and was the initial experimentation with the lighting. Using a snoot meant that a smaller beam of light would reach the subject which therefore meant that I introduced a fill light.
The lighting still appeared quite dark so I adjusted the light settings and took some sample shots; however, when increasing the brightness the overall image became too exposed to allow the technique to work. That technique being relying on the black body paint blending into the backdrop. I did also try increasing the ISO value from 200 but found that the image became too noisy for my personal preference and as a result returned to the original values suggested by the light metre.
This image did not work as well for a few reasons. Whilst the composition was pleasing and more experimental than some of the others the placement of the model meant that the technique did not work to full efficiency with the black paint blending into the black background.
This image again compositionally was interesting although the lighting failed the subject somewhat. The darker lighting adds to the tone of the work but takes away some of the professional styling that I was aiming for.

This image worked in that the positioning of the model within the framing meant that both pieces of physical manipulation, body paint, were in shot. Although, the artwork on the profile of the model was not efficient in that the black paint did not extend to the black backdrop to exaggerate the effect as was exemplified by the arm of the model.
