25 SEPTEMBER 2008: RESEARCH FOR BODY PAINTING EXHIBITION
I just read an email from an amazing body painting artist and photographer, I contacted him yesterday about getting some info on his own practice as a body painting artist and photographer and this was his reply:
Hallo Helen,
thanks for your compliments. I think you are doing great pictures as well.
I use to work in a conzeptual way; i make a drawing with a pencil; then
i try to take the pictures in the right focal lengh (very important as you know...)
and many many computer work. When i get the time i`m learning about photoshop to go forward.
I came to the Bodypaintings by fortune...; I know some people who are working for the big
festival in Kärnten...
Good luck for your exhibition! I think your are a great photographer and Artist.
Greetings from Austria, Salzburg

Johann's photographic portfolio s truely wonderful and can be viewed at http://www.johann-wimmer.net/Bodyarts_-_Photographie.
So I am pretty flattered by his words! Been getting info and research together for my press release, its a very time consuming
process but am enjoying it all very much Can't wait for the exhibition to happen!!
