This is unbelievable! So very imaginative, I'm bowled over and I'm not a fan of this genre but I think I will be going forward, remarkable.

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was created in 2016, July at the world bodypainting festival. I'm returning every year. Live paintings of the body are some of the most creative that I adore.Time
It was a wonderful week. The model for the model was coming. That afternoon I was expecting a lot of good photos. It was an incredible number of photographers and everyone in anticipation of good photographs. I drank among them and waited for the right opportunity. I followed the model with a good time and the winning photo is here: 03. 07. 2016 at 14.20 am I did.Lighting
Photographic backgrounds were set. I am much more interested in natural light. There was a play of sunlight in the tree trunks, and the blue color spilled everywhere. What's burning in the background. The grateful model gave photographers a chance to make good shots. I was waiting for the right moment to catch a nice background. It was just a moment, because the model was moving.Equipment
I used my Nikon D 610 camera and the Nikon 70-200 mm lens. Without a photo stand and no flash.Inspiration
I go to the bodypainting festival all year long because I enjoy the colors and paintings created by artists from all over the world. I'm lucky that I was only 180 km from the event. When they ask me why they are right there, I'm happy to tell them that I do not see faces and bodies, but artwork on them. This model was special, beautiful, elegant. Do not be disappointed by the fact that under this creation, a beautiful man is hidden, not a woman, as everyone who sees the photo finds it.Editing
Forography is cut out a bit, but really a bit. Clean and color corrected in Photoshop CC.In my camera bag
I wear only what I need when I go to photo hunting in a backpack. Currently, my Nikon D 610 body, Nikon lenses 70-200 mm, 24-70 mm and wide-angle 16-35 mm. I want to have a macro lens again. Besides, I transfer the Manfrotto stand.Feedback
In any case, it takes a lot of patience and attend similar events. Communicating with the model and, most importantly, choosing a suitable background for me. In the years since I went to this event I learned the approach, quick reactions and communication with the models. I find it hard to give advice to others; it is easiest to be there, and I intensively devote myself to photography. I put all my love for creation into photography, I forget about the whole world, and I simply enjoy it. Perhaps this is the right recipe for all other photographers.
