Bodyscapes

BODYSCAPES® are NOT double exposures. Nor are they the result of computer montage. These unique landscapes are created by photographing toys and miniature "people" directly on the human body.

Crap! While very tasteful, this is probably not safe for work. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

No, no, it's fine. I'm a porn actor. Nobody here even flinched. In fact, Bob over there is jerking it.

Right on, Bob! Nice technique!

i found this stuff a little art-less. i'd think part of the effort would be in choosing angles/lighting to disguise the body, or part of the body used. stuff like golf tees in the pubes and bridges over boobs border on bad gags from an adult novelty shop. not that those things are wonderful in their own right, of course.

I liked it! Sexy, funny. Doubt I'd ever purchase/put up in my house, but as links go, it was interesting viewing. Thanks, ashbury!

They remind me of Audrey Heller's photographs. While her work is a little less "sexy," it has the same whimsical charm. Sight is one of my favourites.

I don't think I ever could have mistakenly thought these were photo montage, computer generated or double exposures.

Cute, but shouldn't it be called "Vaguely Artistic Beaver Shots" or something a little more truth-in-advertising? Why my fellow men consistently focus on the vagina and breasts--when there are plenty of other female body parts to objectify--is beyond me.

From bodies that look like landscapes, to landscapes that look like bodies.

These brought to mind Miguel Calderon's series of photographs called "Greetings from My Hairy Nuts." Here's one, I mean two (hehe).
