Pride month is at its end and we can’t see it off without a proper homage to our own queer Sensualists. Here, we shed the spotlight on 7 of our favourite queer people on Sensuali making LGBTQ+ erotic art.
1️⃣. Señor Babe
What? Visual artist + photographer.
Where? London.
Señor Babe is a Costa Rican visual artist offering ‘photographic portraiture for the queer, the joyful and the alternative.’ With over a decade of experience, their work is all about merging the worlds of fine art and portraiture. Being deeply connected to both the queer and kink community, they understand how important it is to be represented in the way you truly want. A photoshoot with Señor Babe is perfect for those who want a safe and comfortable space to co-create, without feeling forced into an image of yourself that you don’t identify with.
2️⃣. Layla Kosima
What? Erotic photographer.
Where? London.
Layla Kosima is a bisexual erotic photographer and porn creator, being the founder of female-led porn company, Girls on Set. She started out taking erotic photos during her university course, but was misunderstood by most of her lecturers. Not letting this faze her, she has grown to be widely successful in her field, especially capturing all things kink and queer. Booking a photoshoot with Layla is the perfect love letter to yourself. Her imaginative, surreal vision will capture your beauty in all of its uniqueness.

3️⃣. Jonesy
What? Kink artist and illustrator.
Where? Berlin.
Jonesy is a non-binary kink artist who publishes smutty comics on their Patreon, and is always open for private commissions. Knowing that photography can be intrusive, they offer drawing as an alternative and sometimes work at play parties (where photography is not allowed), drawing scenes for those who request.
4️⃣. Whoretographer
What? Erotic photographer.
Where? London.
Whoretographer aka Poppy Pray is a non-binary photographer who spends her time in London ‘slinking around strip clubs, dungeons, rehabilitation homes, family estates, brothels, Victorian hospitals, anywhere they can get away with.’ They predominately capture strippers and escorts, in order to help sex workers, who for too long have had their image erased and misrepresented, be seen. On a larger scale, they are helping bring to light the recognition of sex worker’s labour rights and the full decriminalisation of sex work. Poppy captures sex workers in their power, in their heat, and in their truth.
5️⃣. Armando Cabba
What? Erotic artist and painter.
Where? Paris.
Armando Cabba is a Canadian erotic artist living and working in Paris. He also hosts erotic art show ‘The JOI of Painting’ on Pornhub. He is open to commissions for personal erotic paintings. His erotic art work began as a protest against online and art censorship, but now they are purely a celebration of sex; evident in his beautifully intimate close-up paintings of genitalia.

6️⃣. Jean Cleverley
What? Erotic photographer.
Where? London.
Jean Cleverley is a gender fluid photographic artist, exploring queer eroticism and sexual fantasies through photography, visual codes and print processes. They are prompted by queer archives (and the expanding of), leatherdyke histories, SM practices and dyke/queer subcultures. They work within a DIY mentality, influenced by punk predecessors working within the margins. They have worked with organisations and collectives, joining the fight towards sexual liberation within marginalised identities.
7️⃣. Lissalovessx
What? Erotic painter and content creator.
Where? London.
Lissalovessx is a Welsh bisexual erotic artist and content creator based in London.
