BTWE  Mini  Photoshoots   BTWE  Mini  photo  sessions   give  models  a  chance  to   shine!   Sabina Schulz PAINT  PLAY:  Top  photo,  from  leO,  Saginaw,  MI  Models  Heather  Praay   helps  Lucilla  Elena  add  a  liQle  color.  BoQom  photo,  Lucilla  poses  with   the  finished  results.  Photos  ©  Brian  Thornton     Some   photographers   and   models   will   say   that   they   can’t   imagine   why   anyone   would   get   involved   with   a   paint  photo  shoot  –  I  can  think   of  a  million  reasons.  The  walls   of  your  studio  (and  floors  and   ceiling)   were   gefng   too   bland;  you  wanted  to  test  the   color   sefngs   of   your   camera;   you   were   curious   about   how   much   paint   would   be   needed   to  cover  a  model  from  head  to   toe  –  the  list  goes  on  and  on.     The   first   step   in   preparing  for  this  typ  of  shoot   is  to  fink  models  that  are  crazy   enough   to   have   fun   with   this   concept.   Unlike   a   structured   body   paint   shoot,   where   models   are   painted   with   a   specific  theme,  this  is  more  of   a   free-­‐form   event   where   the   Modern Model Page 33 themes   develop   along   the   way.   Model
