Rocky Horror Picture Show
I recently re-watched ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ staring Tim Curry and it gave me a lot of styling inspiration for an upcoming shoot related to club kids. I want my club kids shoot to have an element of drag in the styling and in the makeup as well, I like the use of underwear and under garments in this film and I think it will add a different element to my work by using some of these styling techniques.
Painting on top of images
I printed out some of my images from my shoots and experimented with painting back on top of them and scanning them back onto my computer. I was inspired by Viviane Sassen.
Body 3
I did a second shoot experimenting with body paint and creating some interesting images.
This time I decided to paint on items of clothing instead of just playing around with the paint and texture. I wanted to expose intimate areas of the body whilst still covering and disguising them. I wanted to keep the styling simple so decided to go with denim and white trainers. Im really happy with how these images turned out.
Body 2
I did a photo shoot playing around with different areas of the body, however it didn’t come out right and I probably won’t use the photos in my final work.
Colour Editing
Playing around with the hues and saturations of the colour of the paint on the body on photoshop.
Franz West
I visited the Tate Modern to see the Franz West exhibition. This exhibition was filled with abstract sculptures, furniture and large scale works. It was filled with eccentric and playful sculptures and pieces. Here are two of my favourite sculptures. The colours used in this exhibition appeal to me a lot and I want to take inspiration from these in my own work, using the same colour theme.

Body Painting Experiments
This shoot was inspired by Viviane Sassen. In this shoot I wanted to play around with the female form, exposing areas that are considered intimate but also disguising them at the same time. I used normal craft paints instead of body paints as the pigment was higher with these.
