Northern California Body Painting Lighting and Shoot Out. Sunday Sept. 19th 1 PM- 4PM
10 photographers maximum, $125 before Sept. 12th, $150 on Sept 12th and later
Artist body painter Anna Wilinski, MM#1313906 and model Jennifer Jones, MM# 1466518

A terrific chance to photograph the work of talented body paint artist, Anna Wilinski. Her attention to detail and unique creations provide a distinctive visual punch. She is planning a special design for our nude model, Jennifer Jones! Anna has been active for over 15 years in many guises as Body Painting Studio artandbodystudios.com – face paint shop jestpaint.com – her face paint site  jestparty.com – and her Bloggy Wog annawilinski.wordpress.com. Starting work on Jennifer Sunday morning, Anna will have our model ready for the shootout at 1 PM with a one-of-a-kind body art.

Jennifer Jones is a blue-eyed Irish/German/Welsh girl who strives to create exceptional, expressive works of art. She is a hard working model on Zivity and rocks at Wii bowling. Jennifer’s quiet, expressive personality results in surprisingly energetic pictures. Her love of modeling always shows through!

Specializing in advertising photography, Leonard Gee has a long background in product and model work. Begining in high school with yearbooks and then working in editorial and ad print, he attended Art Center College of Design and worked on the East Cost with annual reports, magazines and advertising campaigns. He now, finally is home in California.

Agenda The plan is to have Jennifer as the first stage of finished art so we can begin shooting at 1 PM. I will be there to demonstrate, light, coach and assist with a small group shootout, in small groups. Anna will have a progressive design, so there will be a short 1/2 hour break while she adds to her design and we review and discuss the pictures. Jennifer will be available after the group session for optional one-on-one sessions in half-hour slots.

Details The cost of the shootout is $125 for registration before Sunday, Sept. 12th and $150 on Sept. 12th or later. We must limit this event to 10 photographers. A deposit of $50 is required to hold a spot and the full amount must be paid by the event start at 1 PM. Optional one-on-one 1/2 hour slots are available with Jennifer for $50 each.

Don’t miss this chance to add Anna’s wonderful art on the gorgeous nude Jennifer to your collection of pictures!

P.S. Here is a book review from Pat Bohn!

I got your book this morning in the mail. (Boy, are they early today!)

I looked through it and I LOVE it!  I like the way you show the tools and the steps in how to use them. I love the butterfly eyes and the tiger. The dolphin step-by-step is something I can even follow…lol.  I know from taking your classes, that you’re very good at breaking down each design so we can see exactly how to do them and that technique follows over into your book.

Amazing designs. Amazing clarity in the pictures AND the instructions as well.

Diamond FX Mettalix make great Mardi Gras/ Cirque du Soliel designs!

I apologize for the quality of this video, once I uploaded it to youtube it looked pretty funky. I promise to make another one to really show off the design. Here is a picture of the aftermath of playing with my version of a design Santi did on me.

If you have a mettalix red or fushia, and a metallix green, please…go mix them together and see what happens! The green must have a lot of blue in it to create these surprising colors.  I used this color combo to add drama to cute little girls butterfly’s yesterday.
