Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the artwork of Rodney Burley. Rodney is just getting started in the art of body painting and if some of you happened to see a few of the images that were posted last week, you noticed that it is very hard to tell that his model was actually “wearing” paint.
Rodney, who is the owner of The Highlight Zone in Farmville is a self taught body paint artist. “I remember seeing stuff like that done before years ago and always wished I could do it too”, he said.
Body Painting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours. Our model, Sue, was wearing painted on jeans that took Rodney about two hours to paint.
To date, Rodney has done lots of extreme face painting and several “body pieces”.
“I can do anything from simple eye make up all the way down to a head to toe living piece of art.
