My name's Jess and I'm a bodypainter from Sydney. I'm interested in collaborative shoots, and I usually have a specific concept in mind - I like to plan things well out in advance. A bodypaint with me will normally take 3-6 hours, depending on how much of the body is to be covered and how complex it is, and then shooting after that. So they are not necessarily the easiest shots to get, but can be some of the most amazing. Most of my experience comes from competing in bodypainting competitions, although I'm looking to expand into doing more promotional work and performance/entertainment bodypainting. Here are a couple of the places I've received:

10th place - World Bodypainting Festival 2011 (Brush and Sponge Professional Category)
6th place - Italian Bodypainting Festival, Bardolino, Italy 2011
1st place - Australian Body Art Awards, Melbourne 2011 (Singles Brush and Sponge Professional Category)
3rd place - Australian Body Art Awards, Melbourne 2011 (Doubles Brush and Sponge Category with Emilie Ades)
2nd place - Australasian Bodypainting Competition, Double Bay Festival 2010
1st place - Paws and Claws Bodypainting Competition, Newcastle 2010
15th place - World Bodypainting Festival 2010 (Brush and Sponge Professional Category)
3rd place - Chalk Urban Art Festival Bodypainting Competition, Parramatta 2009

I'm looking to get into contact with models with dance, gymnastic or circus experience in Sydney, as well as models with dreadlocks, piercings, or other 'alternative' looks. When I travel I also look for models for competitions, conventions and other events.

I'd also love to collaborate with videographers, photographers and image editors for a few ideas I have in mind, particularly any with experience and/or equipment for shooting under UV light. Apart from that, I'm also available for live event painting, photoshoots, fashion shows, nightclubs (particularly UV bodypainting) and other events and concepts. Contact me!
