Neil Duerden - Ingulf





Above are a collection of fashion pieces named 'Ingulf' by Neil Duerden combining photography and illustration. What I like about these images is that the illustration has been overlayed onto the skin of the model, her body becomes the canvas and the contours created by her body in turn define the shape of the illustration. This is in contrast to alot of design using photography and illustration where the photograph is left unchanged and the illustration either floats on top or in the background.

However, it would be nice to see how this image would look if the illustration were painted directly onto the skin becuase although the illustration has been carefully placed around the limbs and contours of the model I can't help but think it may be more successful to do it for real

It is really similar to the work of Alberto Seveso although I feel that Seveso's work is less amateaur and has a little something extra. I agree with you that it would be better to see the illustrations actually painted on. It would give it a more intimate look and feel.
