Naked models perfectly camouflaged with brilliant bodypaint 

These breathtaking photos show naked models camouflaged perfectly against a backdrop of famous landmarks thanks to some meticulously applied body paint.

New York artist Trina Merry, who specialises in bodypainting, lines her subjects up and photographs them so they appear to blend right into the scenery around them, which ranges from rural Normandy to picturesque Istanbul and busy New York.

The backdrops to her eye-catching art include the White House, Freedom Tower, Grand Central Station, the Golden Gate Bridge, and even Ireland's Giant's Causeway, the Daily Mail reports.

By painting her subjects into a modern background, Trina is putting a modern twist on the oldest art form known to man.

Ms Merry explained: “I paint on people and, with great care, photograph them using single perspective point photography. This creates a hyper realistic illusion that they are blending into their surroundings.

“Bodypaint is the eldest art form that we know of, pre-dating cave paintings.

“I am fascinating by how these indigenous markings were used to identify stages of life, rank within a tribe and a distinction between tribes.”
