John Poppleton "Under Black Light"

03/17/2023

I was just featured on The Inspiration Grid! You can see it here:

Utah-based artist and photographer John Poppleton uses temporary fluorescent materials to paint colorful scenes on female bodies, and then captures them under black light to produce an incredible visual effect.

"Trinity Under Black Light". This wasn't the pose we had planned on or I would have painted it differently, but I still liked it better than the original planned pose. I had wanted to do this painting in time for the release of the new movie but the studio was too cold and I just didn't feel motivated to bother with it then.
