These photos are from the World Body Painting Festival is held during the third week of July every year in Seebonden and Carinthia, Austria. This is the largest festival for the Bodypainting community. Over 100 body painting artists and models that attend this festival with thousands of visitors from all over the world eager to see this art every year. The first four days are comprises of special workshop and lesson events while the last three days of the festival is open to the public.

I was lucky enough to attend this event full of live music, snacks and cafes and had a wonderful time taking these photos. You can see how each of the unique pieces of art develops as the day progresses.

The models and artists get the opportunity to show the art on their body against the magnificent scenery of Millstatter See. Most of the models volunteer and they were even asking canvassing subjects from the crowd should anyone like to try out. No previous experience necessary.
