Careers
Gair, who was born in New Zealand and raised in Auckland, lives in the United States and is based in Los Angeles. In 1977, he began teaching dance at New Zealand primary school. He moved from New Zealand at the age of 21 and has various stops on his way to Los Angeles. Most of the time was spent in Australia and Amsterdam, until he traveled to Los Angeles during the 1984 Summer Olympics, after five years away from home. With help from the Cloutier Agency he obtained a work permit. He then approached the beauty salon of Chanel and Gaultier to offer the services of a respected make-up artist. They both accept it and he further solidifies his reputation to the point where instead of being asked if he is the daughter of George Gair, it is more common for his father to be questioned whether he is Joanne Gair's father. His early work in the music industry included album covers and music videos for David Lee Roth, Tina Turner, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox, and Mick Jagger. One of his early successes was to be employed to cover the album Roth's 1986 Eat 'Em and Smile . This experience led to work with Madonna, which began with a music video for "Express Yourself" and "Vogue". He has also worked on music videos for Aerosmith and Nine Inch Nails. His work on the 1997 Nine Inch Nails video for "The Perfect Drug" won the best makeup/hair makeup section in a music video at the Music Video Production Awards. He also won an award for Madonna's Frozen. Among other famous musicians who worked with him was Gwen Stefani, who won the Most Stylish Video at the 1999 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards who worked with Gair in the video for the song No Doubt "New". Gair also works on advertising campaigns and for photo features in an effort to showcase other people's artistic visions.
Finally he expanded the art of make-up to body painting to express his own artistic vision. In August 1991, Demi Moore caused an international artistic ruckus by appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair seven months pregnant with his daughter Scout LaRue in photo of More Demi Moore with Gair as a make- up and Annie Leibovitz as photographers. Exactly one year later, he returned to the same naked magazine cover as Gair and Leibovitz's product in a body painting almost as shocking, Demi's Birthday Suit (right picture). Gair is the main painter of this art and his magazine cover prompted Gair to fame. Fifteen years later, he continues to be regarded as the most famous example of modern body painting. Cover 1992 requiring thirteen hours of seats for Gair and his team of make-up artists is a photographic memorial of August 1991. The shooting was storied because photographer Annie Leibovitz could not decide where to shoot and ordered two mobile homes, four hotel rooms and five houses. The pop culture attention given to Gair and his body paintings caused Absolut Vodka to consider the promotion of Absolut Gair's body painting in 1993.
Gair is regarded as the painter of Trompe-l'oeil's body, but sometimes he describes himself more generally and as an illusionist. He also refers to himself and others refer to him as the image maker for his contribution to the perceptions of others. He was initially inspired to specialize in body painting by the facial skin of native M's admirers? Ori from native New Zealand. However, glam rockers and heavy metal rockers and white-face geisha, Native American Indians and Indian menhndi all contribute to his inspiration. He began using Sharpies to appeal to people in 1977. His work, which became famous for the August 1992 cover of Vanity Fair Demi Moore, has transcended various media and engaging him with leading photographers, directors, super models and celebrities. Gair has worked with leading celebrities (Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Christina Aguilera, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sophia Loren and Celine Dion) and has become editorial ( Vogue , W , Vanity Fair , Rolling Stone , Playboy , BlackBook and Harper's Bazaar >), fashion campaigns (Donna Karan, Versace, Victoria's Secret, Guess, and bebe), cosmetics companies (L'Orà © al, Maybelline, Revlon, Oil of Olay and Rimmel) and mega-brands like Evian. At one point he was the beauty editor of Black Book . His work with Madonna includes music videos like Express Yourself, Vogue, Fever, Rain, Frozen, Blonde Ambition Tour, and the next documentary, Truth or Dare. When Madonna joins Herb Ritts for black and white photos, Gair performs eyelashes and make-up. Gair has been the subject of numerous television programs and magazine articles, including the highest episode of Ripley's Believe It or Not? . His first retrospective was exhibited at Auckland Museum as part of Vodafone's Body Art exhibition in 2001 and early 2002.
Gair has earned a lot of movie credits to work as a makeup artist. In 1996 & amp; 1997, she was hired in three films Moore ( Striptease , If This Wall Can Speak & amp; G.I. Jane).

Sports Illustrated
In his first year in Swimsuit Issue (1999), he painted Rebecca Romijn, Heidi Klum, Sarah O'Hare, Michelle Behennah, Yamila DÃÆ'az-Rahi, and Daniela Pe? TovÃÆ'¡ in various beachware. The first body painting of Gair Sports Illustrated took place at Richard Branson Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. Some of these also appeared in the 2001 calendar of Sports Illustrated , and the colorful swimsuit worn by Heidi Klum made it and Gair became the cover of the German edition of Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. In 2001, the Swimsuit Issues had a goddess theme. The cover featuring Elsa BenÃÆ'tez uses the title "Mediterranean Goddess". Gair contributed to this theme with a body painting model as a goddess statue: Klum (Athena), DÃÆ'az-Rahi (Thalia), Veronika Va? EkovÃÆ'¡ (Aphrodite, Venus), Molly Sims (Flora), NoÃÆ'  © nie Lenoir (Luna), Fernanda Tavares (Aurora), and Shakara Ledard (Diana) as goddess. At around the same time in 2001, his work featured Klum displayed on the cover of the tenth anniversary of Shape Magazine. In 2003, he painted a seven-continent world map on Rachel Hunter, a fellow New Zealander, and deliberately represented Australia and New Zealand "below" (on the buttocks). In the 2004 edition, when he painted Jessica White, Petra Nemcova, Marisa Miller, Noemie Lenoir, Melissa Keller, and Hall, the paintings featured real body paintings and swimwear parts in most of the pictures. However, the swimwear section is not visible in all the pictures. In the 2005 edition, he painted Bridget Hall, White, Miller, Anne V, and Sarahyba in an athletic team outfit. In the 2006 edition, he painted some swimsuits at Klum. One of them appeared on the cover of the German edition of Sports Illustrated. This is the ninth time Gair and Klum worked together and the seventh time they did it for Sports Illustrated. In the 2007 edition, where music is the theme and Beyoncà ©  © Knowles is featured on the cover, he paints rock and roll related t-shirts and bikinis on the ass of Daniella Sarahyba, Miller, Praver and Ana Paula Araujo. In Sport Issues Illustrated Swimsuit 2008, when he painted swimsuits at Quiana Grant, Jessica Gomes, Marisa Miller, and Tori Praver, the average sitting time for the subject/object was thirteen hours.
The photographers in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2004 respectively Antoine Verglas, James Porto, Michael Zeppetello and Steven White for the Swimsuit Issues worked. From 2005-2007 Gair took photographs of his own body paintings. Verglas again photographed bodypainting for the Clothes Issues of 2008. No picture of body painting was selected as the main picture on the cover of the Swimming Pool Issues. However, in the 2005 Swimsuit Issues (left picture) where Carolyn Murphy is a cover model, Jessica White is shown as an inset on the cover in a Miami Dolphins jersey body paint by Gair. So, as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue photographer, Gair made his debut on the cover in a sense. In 2006, a small portrait of his picture of a Klum leather scrap appeared in the inset on the cover, but no surgery was seen.
Books
Gair has produced two books in English: Paint A 'Licious: A Pain-Free Way to Reach Your Naked Ambition (ISBN 0-7407-5537-4, Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005) and Body Painting : Masterpiece By Joanne Gair (with preface by Heidi Klum) (ISBN 0-7893-1509-2, Universem, 2006) and one Spanish book: Arte en el cuerpo (ISBN 9 970-718-470- 1, Numen, 2007). In his first book, Paint A 'Licious , he is the painter and the photographer and the organizer who made the scene. Paint A 'Licious has a theme to help people achieve their fantasies. Among the included works is one called 'It's Stretching but You're Still Got That,' which shows an elderly woman in a pink tutu doing a split on the golden stage, with the help of a painted assistant to blend in with the curtain and 'No Sweat 'which shows an overweight woman happily leading the aerobics class with her painted body so she looks 30 pounds slimmer. In the book, sink abs is achieved by sitting still for several hours, like an hourglass figure. The book is produced for ten months in New Zealand.

Sports Illustrated produced Sports Illustrated: In the Paint (ISBN: 978-1-933821-20-7, Time, Inc. Home Entertainment, 2007) in November 2007. The book was subtitled "The complete body - a collection of paintings from SI Swimsuit Issue: The Art of Joanne Gair. "This book contains photo reproductions of all the body paintings that have been included in the issue of swimsuits since Gair has been involved and excluded all the body paintings that precede Gair's involvement. As such, he is the main artist of the book which includes photographs by all the photographers mentioned above.

Television
Though for many he is well-known for the Birthday Celebration , art buffs consider his most well-known Disappearing Model . The job appears on Ripley's Believe it or Not! . In trompe l'oeil body paintings, face and body models are almost indistinguishable from red and blue and yellow flowers from wallpaper in the background. His first body painting was also memorable when he painted moko on a fashion model Ford Modeling Agency woman named Jana, which is a taboo job of a traditional male ritual facial mask. An example of Gair's website on his ability to trick his eyes to see a mix of three-dimensional subjects with a two-dimensional background is visible in a pregnant Elle Macpherson photo. Other examples of this technique include the first book cover (pictured below) and images from within this book.
He participated in Next German Topmodel by painting and photographing the last four contestants in a leopard print. During the episode, which is Cycle 1 episode 6, he handles two models per day working for six to seven hours with each. The work covers the shoulders, legs, breasts and abdomen and includes long hair extensions. This episode resulted in a very successful job so that none of the contestants were eliminated.
Style
Gair has now developed a style as a body painter. Typical work is him and eight hours for him, but some work takes twice that. He does not charge an hourly fee. Gair is always ready for his job, but generally does not sketch his work on paper. In fact, he claimed to only do it twice in more than twenty years of body painting. When he needs to test something, he usually uses his opposite arm or hand (left).
In recent years, Gair has added photography to his professional skills. In addition to being a photographer of Paint A 'Licious , he has been a photographer within his years of Sports Illustrated work. For example, he was a photographer Heidi Klum in 2006. In late 2007, Gair used a Canon 5D camera.
