"No government has the right
to tell its citizens when or whom to love.
The only queer people are those
who don't love anybody."

Adrian
Welch, Photographer
Adrian Welch has expressed his concern that he shares what appears to be somewhat cliche' Gothic tastes with the rest of the Gothy world. Dig a little deeper, and you will find a truly unique soul, a man who expresses a white hot love, sex, and life force through photographing dark sensuality. The first thing you may notice about his art is the striking contrast of light and dark, or maybe the overt sexuality of his work. Take a look into the souls of his subjects by looking into their eyes. You can see a truth in their expression which only makes his work sexier, even more dimensional. Artist's Quote: As a Pagan... I find sexual ritual to be akin to the spiritual trances of shamans. I find what I'm attracted to channels the most energy for me, so when I make art with it, the energy translates into the image and people like it, so it works. |

I use colored gels, filters, & colored floods as well as PhotoShop. Prefer staged shoots rather than candids. Montages often feature scanned objects. I favor low light conditions, night shoots, saturated colors, & dramatic shadows. An aspect of each image is often tweaked to create a surreal effect. Some shoots are experimental, some are shot with themes or art pieces in mind. I sketch ideas for shoots & art in a notebook I carry around. I also carry around a FunSaver camera for candid nature background shots. Favored subjects: Humans as animals in nature, Pagan symbology, gothic aesthetics, sexual drama & passion, romantic homoerotica, beauty in all forms Past History: Been writing & drawing since I was 5, then discovered painting photography & computers as an adult. I explore my own issues & express my mind through art & writing.
