You as Living Art
Become a living work of art immortalized in limited edition art photographs featuring you body-painted with a unique, detailed painting, tailored to accentuate and enhance your body.
Well known for his painted nymphe series, Monty Knowles creates detailed body-paintings then carefully photographs them in unique locations to produce high resolution photographs suitable for extremely large prints.
His body paintings enhance and celebrate bodies; minimizing or eliminating surface features like cellulite, wrinkles and skin discolorations.

Only the artist/photographer, you, and the people you designate will have access to the photographs. You may send or show them to whomever you like. At the end of the session, you will be given a private password to access, download, or print your photographs.
No photographs will be used by the artist/photographer without your written permission
Can I bring a friend or family member?

Do I have to be nude under the paint?
No. Most clients are wearing at least the equivalent of a strapless g-string, but you are free to wear as much or as little as you like. Your paint scheme will simply work around the amount of clothing you have.
