The bodies of 20 or so individuals were canvases for artists who had their skins beautified with colorful designs for an event in Washington Square Park. The models walked as a group to the park and posed for photographs under the iconic arch. The photoshoot was held at 3:30 pm on Saturday, February 24th despite the freezing weather.
There were more photographers (with cameras) and others with cellphones than there were models, which led to considerable jostling to get to unobstructed spots. While the group posed for the cameras, some of the models also posed on their own, much to the photographers' delight.
As Ximena Tovar was the most accessible to me, here are some of the photographs I made of her, followed by others of the whole group.
