Throwing paint and pasting sticks so it looks promade. Proof 9 of 24. Featuring Mylee Rae. www.facebook.com/Myleeraemodel

This portrait came from the Nordic Awards in Helsinki, where craft and imagination met in one quiet frame. The gold shape, the shimmer around the eyes, the pearls, the flowers. Each part felt precise, but together they became something softer and stranger. A portrait like a dream that decided to stay still.

Amid the pulse of Helsinki’s Creative Makeup Awards, Jannika stepped into the light like an apparition forged from shadow and glass.

Jasmiina’s artistry wrapped around her. A crown of lacquered fragments, shimmering like a midnight nebula, and lines that moved across her skin with the delicacy of ink in water.

In the quiet moment between demonstrations, she held her poise with an almost regal stillness.

Power and vulnerability intertwined, turning the dark into something luminous, something otherworldly.

Come little children

I’ll take thee away

Into a land of enchantment

Come little children,

the times come to play

Here in my garden of magic.”

— Sarah Sanderson, “Hocus Pocus”

Captured in Sterzing during my workshop at the World Bodypainting Festival 2025, Valeriia shines in a delicate gown, framed by the gentle bloom of roses. A fleeting moment of elegance shared with twelve creative souls, where beauty and artistry met in harmony.

After my Ancient Cray Portrait series, which used 96 crushed up crayons, I was left with the wrapper for those crayons. Why not make a mask out of them I thought to myself.

Painted Faces

 

This image was taken in an attempt to experiment with the different ways in which random colours could be used to change the shapes of a face.

One thing Wallmart is good for is you can get a lot of something for cheap. For example. Paint brushes. Here used as a wig? Combine that with the punkfunk of Mick Boisvert and we got ourselves some fun!

We love shooting with Kc, a photographer's delight. Kc is an amazing person - wife, mother, martial arts expert, makeup up artist, and she puts up with us. Can't ask for a better person to shoot with! Kc wanted to do a zombie makeup look and then broke her foot. No worries; she showed up in a cast and that didn't slow her down at all. I'm not a big gun fan but she wanted some photos with it and I know not to argue with Kc. I had a brief shoot with her before she was model-napped from me - again!

 

I took these photos at the end of September 2021 at a Boise cemetery.

She stood beneath the lights like a vision pulled from a darker myth. Blue roses, jeweled horns, and a face turned almost ghostly made her feel less like a model and more like an apparition called into the room. This was one of three live promo makeups created before an audience in Helsinki during the World Championship of Creative Makeup and the Nordic bodypainting awards. A performance, a transformation, and a moment where beauty became something untamed.

Styling -

 

Face prep*

Black eye shadow from the middle of my nose to all the way up the inside of my hairline. A tint of green shimmer eye shadow to compliment the green accessories in my hair. Black liquid eyeliner around the eyes to bring more depth. And just clear gloss for the lips. Est.20-30mins

 

Hair prep*

Sections of hair from the sides of the head pulled to the front and pinned. Back part of the hair lifted up to create a high mound. Then the fun part, adding hair extensions. Since I don’t actually have two round hair buns, I had to work with two pony tails that I curled inward and pinned up, looks like a small hairy bird nest. The buns were placed on the sides of my head, kind of like Princess Leia. Accessories added were feathers in the front of the bangs and a few on the top part of the buns. Lastly, a long dirty gold necklace criss crossed along the top of my head, the length of the necklace was long enough to fall below the buns. Est. 30-40mins.

This one didn't make it. Didn't care to much for this one but thought I would post it up anyway.

My inaugural session with the incredibly talented singer Alanna Sterling. While I continue to experiment with the LIFX lighting system I'm discovering more and more interesting lighting combinations.

If your in the Toronto area and you get a chance to check out one of her shows I highly recommend it.

"What we commonly call fire. It is not really fire, for fire is an excess of heat and a sort of ebullition; but in reality, of what we call air, the part surrounding the earth is moist and warm, because it contains both vapour and a dry exhalation from the earth." - Fire Element (wikipedia.com)

Fire element interpretation. All ambient lighting.

Took me forever to find a way to carefully control smash marbles here. Finally figured it out by heating them up in an oven on high for a while then using a vice to crush them. Painting Rose was the easiest part, all she did was lay down on the floor for an hour while I painted streaks on her

A departure from my multi-personality series, "She, the Ananthous" will explore more organic and textured imagery. Characters born of earth, stone, flora and feather will serve as guides through the twist and lilt of forest dark. Pulling inspiration from decay, beauty from the bereft, "She, the Ananthous" will serve as an eerie fable of mother nature's oddities.

She looked straight through the dark.

The feathers crossed the frame like smoke.

The red burned deep.

For a moment, the makeup felt older than the room, older than the stage, older than us.

Building it up again! 3 years gone. Flickr had deleted my previous account due to the fact that i was trying to promote my workshop. There was description on about 4 photos out of 1700+, just deleted.

 

So, here we are again, building it up slowly.

 

Cheers,

This one didn't make the cut.

Midnight has its own colors.

 

Black is never only black. There are traces of blue in it, silver in it, sometimes even fire.

 

And then there is red, small, deliberate, alive.

Valeriia at Creative Jam in Vipiteno. An angel carved from ice.

Her breath slips into the air and finds the back of your neck first: a quiet warning.

Lace blooms across her brow, silver horns rise like glacier ridges, and dark tears split the white like fractures in ice.

Whatever she reaches for goes still: Beautiful, silent, perfectly frozen.
