Three-dimensional human bodies are transformed to look like paintings on a flat surface in this curious collaboration between a makeup artist, a photographer and a retoucher. In his series Art of Face, Alexander Kholkhlov explores the ways in which people can function as canvases, using body paint to obscure their humanity.
For a set entitled ’2D or Not 2D?’ makeup artist Valeriya Kutsan applies body paint in such a way that it’s sometimes near-impossible to tell that what you’re looking at isn’t just a flat painting. Says Kholkhlov, “”Valeriya used different techniques of face painting so you can see a lot of variations – from sketch and graphic arts to water-colour and oil-paintings. ”
Another set, ‘Angry Beards,’ paints imagery from the game Angry Birds onto bearded men.
The power of body paint to completely transform human bodies into everything from exotic animals to crashed cars can be astounding. Some artists use it to make their models virtually disappear. See 31 more works of art on human canvas.
Carefully posed in graceful contortions, human models are transformed into dolphins, swans, iguanas and more in body paintings by Gesine Marwedel.

DxOMark has recently tested the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, which in some markets will be sold as a ‘kit’ zoom with the latest D5300 SLR. As part of our ongoing collaboration, we’ve added the test data to our lens widget, so you can compare it with Nikon’s other current DX standard zooms. We’ve included test data on both the D7000 and D7100 – the latter should be a good indicator of its performance on the D5300. Click through for the data and analysis.
