loved the whole wax thing, it was beautiful

I’m working on something that’s requires wax on my model’s head, and we are looking to see if there’s any industry standard to protecting hair. The closest thing that comes to mind would be releasing agents that are used when doing a life-cast.

Chris, That’s actually incorrect. It’s a myth that is based on James Bond: Goldfinger. (http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfinger.asp).

But when I got a power carver ( http://www.foredom.net/k5240woodcarvingkit.aspx ) for Xmas a few years ago, I instantly fired it up at my carving bench (in the house) and started carving just to see how it work. Well after a half hour of carving I realized that the whole house was a thick fog of dust! Since I was wearing a ventilator mask, and dustproof goggles so I didn’t notice, after all that dust settled, the whole house had a quarter inch layer of super fine dust over everything!
So that was kinda bad. LOL

That looks like it will be a great photo. And what are you going to do with 75lb of wax? Have you ever made a wax cast of your hand? It is pretty cool! 🙂

It’s very well done. Kudos! And what a teaser you have at the end! Can’t wait to see the final image/s.

The messiest photo shoot I ever did was a papier mache mask. I really did make a big fat mess in my kitchen and on myself, but it certainly didn’t compare to your wax. 😉

I’m so inspired by this. It’s 12 AM and I feel like I need to create something now now now. But then again, I feel that way whenever I read any of your blog posts or watch your videos.
I miss you so much!

I don’t know if this is the messiest thing I’ve done, but I did a shoot once inspired by the white queen from tim burton’s version of alice in in wonderland and I covered the model with baby powder, face paint, flour, and white temporary hair color. Then she lay in grass that was also covered with baby powder and flour. It took her a while to be able to wash all of that off :p

Where do I start?? I can hardly wait to see all the photos coming out of your new studio space, I can feel the creative energy from here! I’ve recently been working on an installation piece to shoot because I want to get back to using my hands to create and incorporating it with photography. I’ve always sketched and sculpted in clay so I’ve felt the pull for awhile now.
I’ve used clay, acrylic paint and almond milk on myself for photos and I’ve been in the snow a lot for photos but that’s not messy just really cold. 😀
You’ve inspired me yet again to keep pushing to get my ideas out in to the world so it’s time for me to get back to my installation and try to work it out! Thank you! xo

It is so good to see you working and always well accompanied by kelly. So awesome! I loved it! I do not remember doing so much mess in creating images, but when I did painting with oil, oh yes, it was just a mess and brushstrokes everywhere. LOL Have a great week, Brooke! xoxo
