Creative Face-Painting

 
When painting this design, I used blue, yellow and red face paint.  By using the three primary colours I was able to get a broad range of tones whilst achieving contrast between warming and cooling colours.  
Edited on Photoshop, this image displays the resulting colour and monotone photo.  The main focal point of this photo is the red face and the word 'colour' written across.  This acts as the main point of interest for the viewer and then allows the eye to disperse around the photo, uncovering the different elements, colours and textures.  
Painting fish on the side of the face enabled for a very comical look that attracted the viewer's eye.  Again, using part-black-and-white enables the division between the face and the fish and ultimately shows the main focal point of the piece.  
This is probably my most favourite photo from the shoot as it almost tells a comical story of when two fish meet for the first time.  
Water was also used as an aid in some shots to add to the fish' natural environment and increase comic realism.
