Nude Nite 2009 poster shoot

This is my second year in a row photographing the poster for Nude Nite. On this assignment I enjoy working along side art director Jeff Matz from Lure Design and Nick the body painter (myspace.com/thebodypainter). The theme for this years poster was slick futuristic so Nick decided to paint our model from head to toe in black paint and afterwards he covered her in baby oil. Talk about a mess!! Since I was officially scheduled to be out of my studio in December this was my last chance at squeezing one more shoot in before my departure.

Nude Nite as an event is a 3 night juried multi-media art event to celebrate the body beautiful. Held on Valentines day weekend every year, hundreds of artist show their works including photography, fine art, installation, sculpture, metal and more. If your thinking this is a raunchy event I'm afraid to say your mistaken. Expect a wide variety of people and some really cool eye candy.
