EL HAQ LATIEF

El Haq Latief (2025)
by James Berkery

Shot by James in quiet woodland on the edge of London, this photography series is a queer exploration of presence and expression, blurring portraiture and performance.

Indonesian performer El Haq Latief inhabits space as they moves freely across a spectrum of expression, with nature as a silent, ever-present witness.

These images are an offering, of movement, light, and feeling.
