Photography into art

Back in April 2011 myself and Grace Elkin went out into the wilds of Leicestershire to do a spare of the moment photo shoot. The latex dress by Kitty Creme was an experiment, and far from looking fetishy like I expected, the 1940's hair and make up and the rough surroundings made for a pretty contrast of layers and textures.

The above fast became our favourite shot in editing, and has since become the image that most strongly signifies my work with Grace. We have done many beautiful images together, but something draws me back to this image year after year.

Artist, Brian Tull from Nashville TN, spotted it on facebook and got in touch about using it to paint from.
His style is amazingly life like. Painting sections of images on huge canvas's. 
It was great to be sent updates on how it was going, and to see the methodical process he uses to create such photo realistic artwork. 

Naming the piece 'We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight' Not surprisingly it sold pretty quickly.

Brian is now working on his second image of me using a photo by Paul Needham.
Again chopping me off just above the lip, he seems to have a thing for my lips and shoulders!

It's very exiting to have such a talented artist want to paint photos of me. And a big credit to Grace and Paul for the lovely composition, depth and great lighting that make these images worthy of being worked onto canvas.

The image by Paul Needham was a Betty Page inspired shoot done with Aurora Toxique.
It's quite funny that people who see Brains painting will not know that my desk is actually a person!
