Joyous #ringflashportraits shoot with Jake Samuels [email protected]. He has such a warm presence and threw brilliant poses

Excellent opportunity to experiment with my fancy new ring-flash. Definitely the start of a new series!

Fun cheeky cheerful #psychedelicbodies shoot with handsome @solidwolfg2.bsky.social throwing brilliant poses for the camera.

Colours created with studio lights - with added saturation + smoothing colour graduation in post production.

One of my favourite shots here on BlueSky, and @maxnmodel.bsky.social is stunning! x

One of my favourite #rainbowcore shoots! @mrcharlesmichael (IG) hot as a 1970s colt star, striking goofy poses. Exactly what this series is about.

These are large exhibition prints. A huge amount of editing goes into each one.

You were utterly terrific and totally on fire! XX

Magnificent rainbow shoot with handsome handyharry63.bsky.social Such great fun + v relaxed in front of the lens

This is extra special cause it's rare to get Harry out of the West country where he's been gardening for 50 yrs!

Magnificent #rainbowcore shoot with my buff yoga mate @londongymguy.bsky.social . Huge treat working with someone so comfortable in his own skin…

I’m thrilled that these zinging colours were created entirely in the studio with coloured gels.

Stunningly beautiful x

James M Barrett @jamesmbarrett.bsky.social · Aug 12

Just WOW!! Beautiful shot! x

Love your fabulous drawing but I spent 25 years in trapeze class, and some of the worst neck injuries were from students getting too keen and practicing their tricks upside down on chin-up bars at home!! xx

A different take on delightful and very handsome @danny.allum - DEI consultant and advocate for body positivity.

Experimental #ringflashportrait for a possible new series.

Another experimental #ringflash shot - this time of Huw - taken at the end of our #rainbowcore session last month. It's a new portrait series on the horizon!

Another brilliant rainbowcore shot of gorgeous actor + teacher Dan Cardoso! Dan started playfully shaking it all about in time to the music... These zinging colours were created entirely in studio, not post-production. (IG:@mrdancardoso)

Amazing shot! x

Stunning photo and uber handsome @gregdixxon.bsky.social !!

James M Barrett @jamesmbarrett.bsky.social · Jul 17

Great to meet Huw after years of planning a #psychedelicshoot. So wonderfully playful + his fur catches colours beautifully.

Colours created in studio - it's tough but so rewarding when it comes right!

Magnificent #psychedelicbodies shoot with beautiful handsome Evan Joo. Visiting from Oz. His intense bat tattoo was amazing!

Glowing colours on Evan’s body were achieved entirely in studio
