Floral Designs

As we have seen in many of the "body-as-canvas" images posted on this site, the human body makes a beautiful medium on which to display almost any pattern or photo imaginable. Sometimes, though, the concept is most effective when a simple overlay design is used since it does less to mask the contours of the body to which it is applied. In this example, a floral fabric swatch was scanned and used with a photograph of a model posing in an open shower stall with skin still glistening with bath oil.

The model who posed for this photograph is Mandie. You may see more of her poses by clicking this link to view a photo gallery of her work. Thanks for sharing, Mandie, and for being a part of the Human Canvas Project.

Rainbow Colors

Common everyday objects can take on entirely different looks when used as projected images or overlays on the human body. The colorful pattern used to create this image is, in fact, simply a closeup picture of a bowl of multi-colored jelly beans. The individual shapes of the pieces of candy seem to dissolve into interesting patterns of color when the photo is applied as an overlay to the original photo of an artist's model in a classical pose.

Once again, Iza is the beautiful model who posed for this photo, and you can see more of the work that she and Mackenzie, her photographer, have created by clicking this link to view their gallery. Thanks again for posing and sharing your work with us!
