In this immersive art project titled Metamorphosis, bodypainters Leonie Gené and Joerg Duesterwald collaborated with photographers Laila Pregizer and Uwe Schmida in order to incorporate the human body into various natural landscapes. And as you can see from these pictures, they certainly did a good job.
No Photoshop was used in the process (which, given today's over-reliance on digital editing, is something of an achievement in itself) and all of the models were painted on location to create a seamless merging between body and background.
"Their work invites the viewer to see the human figure as a part of nature," writes the Model Society. "These remarkable images encourage us to enjoy the curves, forms and subtleties of the nude body just as we would enjoy the graceful shape of a tree, the gentle rise of hill or the abrupt angles of a rock formation."
Can you spot the models hiding in these pictures?

You find the booty. You find the artist. The artist is the booty.

I'm partially color blind, with red-green deficiency. this makes it much easier to spot irregularities. During WWII the military hired map aerial photography scanners, who were color deficient, because they were able to spot camouflage much easier than those without a color deficiency.
Must be quadruple jointed, to manage to do that good a job on her own back!
Woah! I sat here for three minutes straight before I finally saw them!!
The one on the stump is a model. Models are used in every single one of these pics. The artists paints the models and then the photographers takes the pictures.
This is a very pretty picture.... Just wanted to share it..... Good day to all....
Damn good job. Saw it immediately. But I'm a stickler for detail and have OCD, so it wasn't as hard. Still, damn good job.
remarkable! this must have taken hours.....nay...DAYS to do. very creative and beautiful
Part of the brick wall, (to the right of the middle wall).

She is in the the theirs rock thing (going from left to right) in the front.
Wow!!! Love this one. Very nice. And the model is in the perfect location. Really good job.
There she is, lying in the middle of the picture in clear sight.

Nice. Love the way she blends into the rock. I also like the rock itself.
WOW!!! This one actually took a little longer to find. Beautiful work.
I found the rest of them right away, but can't see her in this one at all!
Definitely looks like marble, and is quite gorgeous, but stands out against the duller rocks...

Neat study of color/shading/texture, compare/contrast of creature and landscape, as well as male and female.
