Walter Iooss has photographed Swimsuit Issue models wearing swimswear made of body paint, but he’d never shot a body-paint cover for Sports Illustrated—till now. For the March 2nd issue, Walter photographed Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins sporting an official Marlins uniform meticulously re-created by body-paint artist Joanne Gair. Watch the behind-the-scenes video of the shoot here.
