Photographer and artist John Poppleton specializes in
creating spectacular works of art painted directly on the human
body. John was born and raised in the suburbs of Sacramento, CA. He was
introduced to photography during high school in 1988.He pursued all
areas of photography passionately as a hobby and became a professional
portrait photographer in 1993.
The illuminating effect provides a surreal, fantastical vision of
beautiful worlds that are full of life and depth. John blended these
landscapes with incredible skill, blurring the line between the model
and the fantasy world. With each picture depicting a scene displaying
mother nature in all its rawness, the use of bodypaint seems to be the
perfect choice. In some paintings, the canvas is stretched beyond the
back of the model, often extending to face, arms, legs, and feet. In
others, Poppleton even uses two female bodies to create one painting,
with the landscape transitioning seamlessly from one woman to the other.
In one bodyscape, the artist even uses the model’s hair as the
beginning of a waterfall, her luminescent strands flowing smoothly into
the white torrents of water. Blending elegance and grandeur, the
fluorescent paintings embody the exquisite beauty of the universe.
These pictures have even earned him a feature in Rangefinder magazine .To see more of his work ,head over to his Facebook page and YouTube channel.
