Combine amazing landscape from all around the globe with naked people and a successful final product is almost guaranteed. In this case we are talking about photography. To make your work really stand out, you do need a talented photographer and a bit of outside the box thinking. All this is what 47-year-old Swiss artist, Filippo Ioco, successfully combined. Ioco’s outside the box thinking is in form of an amazing camouflage body painted naked people. The final product is made so well, it would be really hard to spot a human being on, if you would have no idea he or she is on the photo. It’s easier now when you know the whole story.

Swiss artist is travelling the world in search for mind blowing spots to create these camouflaged photos. To get everything ready it takes him from one to eight hours, sometimes even more. As for the body painting “colors,” he uses clay, dirt, water based paints and raw pigment. He uses everything that is safe to be applied to the skin. To get the best effect possible, he paints using sponges, brushes and his hands. Through his career and body work, he said, it’s landscape that we all understand and relate to. You forgot something Filippo – and naked people.
