In
the article “Body Painting” published Photographic Society of America, author
Ayman Lofty explains how body painting is the oldest in most cultures, people
share memory’s and record their story’s known as; a symbol or an image. What
they really liked was they recorded on their own bodies. The history of body
art started way back when. From cultures around the world started to do this
like paint their face and bodies, but they also celebrated different events in
life. Photography is a very rich subject in creative shooting. It decorates the
bodies, faces, different cultures, behaviors, and living style. Body painting
has changed from decorative or celebrative to a creative photographer. Having a
new dialogue incorporates different elements. Photography is thought about as a
documentary skill “the main obstacle” in merging the two arts. The painters do
not understand photography they think it is just a tool for recording events,
but there lack of perception of the center attraction exposure such as, framing
and lighting angles. They say that most of the photographers of all over the
world understand each other’s work and speak their own language. For the new
art, modern body painting has reduced the gap between painting and photography.
The people need to know that photography is a type of line in art. In the case
of photography the viewers who love painting have become interested in
photography. The lighting must be adjusted to achieve its final presentation
and must have a good atmosphere. The mood and the outcome of the shoot; music
is permitted to set the tone. As a result of body painting and photography the effort
in the Egyptian Minster presented the nations of the world. For exhibition,
portraits, full body art, cultures and style the result of the fourteen
portraits exhibited is on display at the New Cairo Airport Terminal #3 in
Egypt.
I in fact like reading this article. It had some very interesting facts about Egypt on how the body painting and the photography came together. I thought that it was vary similar to the something but when I kept reading on I saw that it said there is different lighting of both photography and body panting which I thought was true and it is very hard to combine the two together. Such as a tattoo you can copy the picture but is it going to look the same yes and now because the lighting might be a little uneven or even the atmosphere will be different. I know a lot of people who do have tattoos represent something or someone so the symbol has a special meaning. I could have other meaning like NO fat food on someone meaning they need to eat or have healthier foods in them. What I also thought was very cool was they put all of the photography and body art painting into an Airport museum
