# Vibrant Body Paint Photography Allison Chase's Bodypaint Work is Equally Horrific and Beautiful By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-03-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-paint-photography References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/art-design/creepy-geeky-cool-body-paintings) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/allisonchasemakeup/photos_stream) This body paint photography proves that it's pretty amazing what you can do with just a model, some body paint and lighting. This incredibly impressive work from makeup artist Allison Chase is equally beautiful and haunting. From a terrifying skeleton stalking you from the dark to a frigid interpretation of Jack Frost to a female tiger warrior, Chase's work is simply stirring. A viewing of Chase's [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-verified) page unearths even more impressive work and body paint photography spanning many genres and ideas. Her gallery is filled with steampunk shots, glamorous models with [tribal facial tattoo work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life), and even some work from well known [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marilyn-monroe-barbie) franchises. A common theme in all her work seems creepy, slightly macabre and horrific images juxtaposed with great lighting and beautiful models. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Body Paint Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to push the boundaries of body paint photography and create visually stunning, unconventional images. - **Steampunk Shots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine elements of steampunk fashion with body paint to create unique and avant-garde art that blends two distinct aesthetics. - **Tribal Facial Tattoo Work:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with makeup artists to incorporate tribal facial tattoos into body paint photography, merging cultural elements with artistic expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques and equipment specifically tailored for body paint photography, allowing photographers to capture the intricate details and vibrant colors with precision. - **Makeup Artistry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with new types of body paint and innovative application techniques to achieve even more stunning and long-lasting results. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to integrate body paint into runway shows and editorials, creating bold and boundary-pushing looks that challenge traditional beauty standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Makeup Water Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corpse-paint-makeup.md) - [Limited-Edition Spooky Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Transformative Survivor Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life.md)
