My #psychedelicbodies portrait of brilliant Andy IG: @ropeboundmen - perfect sparky cheekiness + working the lights brilliantly! Colours are exactly as they were in camera - not changed at all #psychedelicshoot #technicolour #saturated #kaleidoscope #projectedlight #maleportrait #laughter #QueerArt

Great fun shooting my #psychedelicbodies portrait of Jonathan Moore @j0nm00re - inventive playful poses + chat. Colours all created in studio - saturation bumped up afterwards. #psychedelicshoot #technicolour #projectedlight #portraitcommission #QueerArt #laughter #whiteshirt #businessshirt

Brilliant #psychedelicbodies shoot with beautifully handsome @rubkas10 striking great poses and throwing amazing shapes. Again the colours are straight out of the camera with just a bit of smoothing and saturation! #portraitcommission #QueerArt #psychedelicshoot #technicolour #laughter #fun

Wonderful shoot with hugely talented Anthony Dortch visiting from San Diego USA for his @dortchdesigns project. He specialises in intricate body painting and then stages his models in wild sci-fi scenarios as source material for his graphic art and comics. #PsychedelicBodies #QueerArt #kaleidoscope

#psychedelicbodies portrait of handsome easygoing Steve Curran. Fun playful experimental shoot. The tech worked like a dream. Colours achieved in studio. Love the fine strip of dark blue down the LHS of his body, and the strip of bright yellow down his RHS. #QueerArt #technicolour #kaleidoscope

Another of @drwsplnd from my newly rebooted #psychedelicbodies series. This time cheeky & smiling in contrast with the steely gaze of his previous photo. Proud to say that the colours are straight out of the camera with only a bump of saturation in post production. #QueerArt #psychedelicshoot

Brilliant to start with my #psychedelicbodies portrait of @drwsplnd. He brought beautiful presence and deeply thoughtful insights to the shoot. This lighting is so tricky but the colours on Drew's body are straight out of the camera, with gentle post-production! #psychedelicshoot #LGBTQIAarts
