Alive candle - monomad daily challenge

Hello my close friends.
After some time, we finally had an opportunity to celebrate the birthday of one of my loved ones and take a good photo of him in our own way.
Yes, he is @menti whom you must know, friends who were together all this time and followed each other's work, we know him.
This idea of candles, which have their own problems and challenges, came to fruition on such a good day and we managed to take photos.
The photo shoot seemed a bit painful but it wasn't and I'm here to reveal all the stories behind the scenes.

This time, instead of using candles and cakes for the birthday, the model's body is used, and the simple candles that give the photo a sense of loneliness and more than that, a sense of complexity to our model's personality.
Instead of melting the candle and pouring it completely on the body, we use some high-viscosity plastic paint and add a little brown color to it to make it brown and then start shooting.
The use of plastic paint helped to clean it with water easily after finishing the photography.
And it was also an important issue that was the location of the candle, which could not be fixed on these plastic colors.
The solution of construction prevailed. I used plastic pills and taped the empty parts of the pills to my body in the desired place and then painted the plastic over it and put the candle on it.

The environment was special and poetic, fear and pain of loneliness and courage and survival, all of them were placed together in one frame with the help of this photo. It was so wonderful that with Menti we could once again record such photos that we love. At the end, I will post a backstage video in the link.

Photography was done with non-projection light, because the use of that light would cause the candles to suffocate and their shine could no longer be seen in the photo. That's why I used my camera lights for lighting.
Happy birthday my dear and I hope you reach all your birthdays in life as soon as possible.
Thank you for being with us, my dear friends. Do you intend to shoot with such a theme, you can ask your questions here or on Discord and I will guide you as much as I can.
Have a good day...
