JOHN NEYROT – PAINTED PICTURES

The old adage ‘a picture’s worth a thousand words’ in this case is an understatement. Meet John Neyrot, artist, photographer and famed body painter. His canvas, more than inspiring, beautifully sculpted naked women who at the end of his masterpiece become human murals of some of the most aesthetic pleasing art to the human eye. Beginning his creative journey at a young age doodling and drawing on his notebooks, Neyrot’s hobby became his bread and butter when he realized his passion and talent for photography could sustain him financially.

Present day, Neyrot’s seductive style has made him one of the most sought after image makers in the country. Merging his love of painting with photography has given this modern day Picasso the freedom to create a visual narrative through the women he shoots. Lending his craft to iconic clients such as Hugh Hefner’s infamous Playboy Mansion, glamour magazines throughout the world and creating collections of images in an assortment of sultry calendars amid the most beautiful women and obscure locations around the globe, Neyrot is defining art through his work.

Amazingly one of his most memorable shoots to date was commemorating The 2008 Colts Cheerleaders Calendar after their team victory in the XLIII Super Bowl. A tribute to the armed services, Neyrot captured portraits in military bases around the country. While most would expect envy to come from his presence amidst a sea of gorgeous women, men reveled at the shiny, perfectly positioned Lombardi Trophy that graced the pages. Neyrot reminisces, “I have to say, although initially I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of holding this trophy in my hands, by the end of the shoot I was quite excited.”

Perhaps his success is directly tied to his humble disposition and gratuitous demeanor. While comfort and trust are essential in photographing the perfect picture, in body painting it’s crucial. As Neyrot works his paints about a woman’s most intimate areas he is overwhelmed with a deep-rooted sense of respect. “When I meet the woman I’m working with, I understand the work they put into looking just right. I feel honored that a woman feels comfortable enough to disrobe in front of me, allowing me the freedom to create. I really value and respect their trust in my craft,” Neyrot gently explains.

A culmination of life-long talent, John Neyrot has created a business that is most men’s pleasure. Exhilarating to say the least, his soothing approach and eye for beauty has placed him as a forefather in this new trend in pop culture art.
