Polychromatic Portraiture

Polychromatic Portraiture Polychromatic Portraiture is a portrait project exploring vivid hues cast across people’s bodies.

The Polychromatic Portraiture series began in the early 2000s with Morel’s first art exhibition titled Polychromasia featuring digitally altered photos of objects with distinctive changes to the composition’s hue and saturation. Inspired by color-shifted landscapes that proliferated during low-cloud amber bathed dusks in his home state of Florida, he longed to recapture the visual vertigo of a wor

ld where grass was no longer green and sky wasn’t blue. A constant itch to translate this series to portraiture found an introduction while shooting concert photography in the 2010s. Stage lighting bathed subjects in other-worldly palettes and set the stage for the experimentation that would result in the series as it exists moving into the next decade. Primarily focusing on the human body as a canvas, Morel paints his subjects and sets in colored light to represent the energy emerging from the individuals he captures. What you see is a collaborative work between the photographer/lighting designer and the model themselves.
