A photographer has created a bizarre exhibit featuring naked models being covered with body paint to look just like wild animals. Lennette Newell’s daring pictures show models posing covered in paint as zebras, elephants, baboons and cheetahs next to their real life counterparts. The San Francisco photographer’s display, called ‘Anti-Human’ was devised out of Lennette’s childhood desire to become one of the animals her father used to treat as a vet. Her strikingly colourful set aims to mark the difference between humans and wild animals.
All of Lennette’s ‘Anti-Human’ collection pictures were taken in Los Angeles, California.
Daring: Lennette’s picture of a model with an elephant is one of the collection’s more provocative images.
Black and white: Photographer Lennette captures a model painted with stripes to give her the appearance of a zebra.
Spot the difference: Another model is painted in brown and white to look just like her cheetah counterpart.
Monkeying around: A male model is painted in brown with dramatic eye paint to make him take on the appearance of a baboon.
Newell’s pictures are born out of her childhood dream to actually become one of the animals her vet father used to treat.
