Emma Hack started her career as a make-up artist, but drawing inspiration from the works of Veruschka, a famous model who during the 60s and 70s painted herself against naturalistic settings, she started exploring the art of camouflage. After decades of experience, Hack’s works have become so good that it’s often hard to spot where the model is “hiding” in the background. Her first ever camouflage artwork took 19 hours to complete, with more recent works taking anywhere between 8 and 15 hours, depending on the complexity of the project. As you can expect, the long hours and painstaking work take their toll on both the artist and her models, but the spectacular results are reward enough for both of them.
So move over Liu Bolin, the so-called Invisible Man, there’s a new camouflage master in town, and she means business.
