Sunflowers and an abstract

Two sunflower shots I did very recently. The sunflowers are fake ones by the way. The zebra stripe background I hand painted myself on hardboard. The girl in the one sunflower shot is my girlfriend and I hand painted her face with body paint. I used a silk stocking tightly wrapped around her head and hand painted that as well to create the impression that she has a bald head. ( she actually has lovely flowing locks of blond hair)
All 3 shots were taken in the lounge of my apartment using natural light entering through the large bay windows. It was an overcast day wit diffused light. To diffuse te light even more so that I would have no shadows I hung up white sheets in front of the windows.

Wow! Very creative. I like all three. It must have taken a lot of time painting your girlfriend, but the effect is outstanding. In your second, I like the yellow of the sunflowers and the red of the base. The third is also very visually stimulating

Wow! Those are amazing. The concept, the execution, the contrast, the technique - all amazing.

This is so cool. I love what you've done with it and would have never know the sunflowers weren't real.
