A friend asked if I could photograph one of her friends… Wow… what was I letting myself in for?

This is face painting, the lady in question runs www.starlightfaces.co.uk – though I suspect that this style may be more in fashion at hallowe’en than at other times of the year.

Strobist: one UV torch held above the photographer by the artist.

Techy: ISO 12,800, f/2.4, 1/15s, hand–held.
