James M Barrett

Brilliant experimental shoot with gorgeous + wild Janarion. It started with him telling me about a #deathmetal gig he went to the night before.. and it took off from there! A little bit Animal from Sesame Street and a whole lot Gene Simmons from Kiss….

Another favourite of my wonderful friend @mrcharlesmichael (IG) in a pastiche of 1970s Colt shots! Taken with a huge #ringflash. I still can’t decide which version I like best so welcome any thoughts you have about colour, desaturated or blackandwhite….

My official Ring Flash shot of gorgeously handsome Brad @nudeinfocus (IG) channeling suave Bond realness!

Love the cheeky twinkle in his eyes.

Wonderfully playful afternoon - there’s a fab technicolour portrait of Brad to follow too.

Very lush!! Great colour x

ROTFLUTS!!

My handsome photographer friend Peter bathed in lush technicolour lighting and marching to a very different drum!

An afternoon of playful experimentation, extreme technicolour, and very wild poses, all of which all came together brilliantly….

Thanks so much for the great feedback everyone! @alxob.bsky.social was utterly brilliant xx

My #ringflashportrait of brilliant artist and life model @julienfrost.bsky.social - on a recent visit to London.

Julien previously posed for my technicoloured series. Such a wonderfully cheerful and easygoing shoot.

Another shot from brilliant session with photog friend IG @alex.obart visiting London from Palma back in September. We did these joyful #ringflashportraits in at the end of the magnificent colour shoot. Fab spontaneous expressions!

I utterly love these shots!! And @dastiraider.bsky.social is hot! x

Such a fun session with my lovable friend IG= @mrcharlesmichael channeling 1970s Colt Magazine realness!

Eventually this will lead to a very different project out on location but it might take me a while!

Joyful afternoon with John Sliver @johnsilverxxx.bsky.social - super-relaxed confident playful poses! I love his silver fur sparkling in the coloured lights.

Gorgeous friend @nakedlondonyogi.bsky.social goofing it up and really working my crazy technicolour lights! Colours on his body all created in studio.

Brilliant to catch up and I’m thrilled with this. More to come!

I love it!! X

Gorgeous @gennaroboccia90 (IG) - joyful smile, beautiful ink, wonderfully warm poses. A great creative afternoon!

The colours on Gennaro's skin were created in studio. I love the lush pink highlights catching his side.

stunningly beautiful!! X

Push the button! Hilarious shoot with dashing #silverfox Carey Davis (IG @whitebeardnyc) on a recent visit to London. He has sat for several formal portraits with me before so we improvised with #ringflash this time... Great to see his playful side!

Brilliant experimental session with hot lovable @mrcharlesmichael (IG) shooting overhead with my huge #ringflash. Trying to loosen up, improvise more.

Which version is best?!

Joyous #ringflashportraits shoot with Jake Samuels IG=@ch33ky.charlie. 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
