stand very very still :

As someone who likes to work hands-on with the medium before committing it to the digital world, I was happily surprised and thrilled to see the work of Alexa Meade. Meade is a still life (acrylic) painter who utilizes the same fundamentals in her photography. She embraces the fine art of photography by adding her own step to the process; Meade paints directly on the bodies of live models, then photographs the still life so that the final image appears to be of a 2D subject.



Sometimes moving forward requires us to step backwards first!


I discovered Meade's work in a daily Flavorwire newsletter (distributed by Flavorpill). To read the original article, click here.
