Nomad's Notes

2014 is the first year I started working on putting a group together for the Toronto (Canada) area, my home town. It was the middle of the winter so it made sense to do something in the studio, some kind of party or other event. Body-painting seemed to be the logical choice. I started getting word out that we were doing this and many replies came back. At one point it looked like we might have over 20 people. But many did not show up. Canadians are shy, you know. The studio walls were already black, which worked out well visually. We had lots of used white paper rolls which we turned over and taped to the floor, making the floor look white. We had recently built a kind of upper galley where we could store lights and such, but also could be used to shoot from for high angles.
