RE: Black Tape Project Tribal Body Art
Great work! How long does it take to put together a piece like that?
And how does the model get compensated for this type of work vs nude art?
I don't think I've seen this specific style before. I wonder if you could do anything with metallic tape or a foil effect like the blue seen in this shirt.
I could! A lot of it is a choice between paint and tape types. You have to buy special types of tape and sourcing it can be a pain.
Compensation really depends. Most of these are a TFP between the model, myself, and the photographer where we can use these in our portfolios and for our own display as pieces but not sell to commercial products like magazines.
I created a art community in NC where I lived and helped a lot of the burlesque dancers and models book jobs so when I wanted to do a shoot, most helped for free because they got paid other ways through me. Making friends really helps!
Smart marketing! How does burlesque differ from exotic dancing/stripping?
Also would be cool to see you cover in tape then paint around it and pull the tape away to have a negative space that would be skin color if that makes sense.
Similar to that in my tattoo (around the angel's hand)
Burlesque doesn't involve tipping and private dances? They usually DO strip, but not all the way, and it's more performance oriented than being-nude oriented. It's kinda right between say stage dancing and stripping.
That's what I thought. More a performance that's sensual vs. outright sexual
