This is UNCUT — a raw, striking portrait series by award-winning photographer Chris Jepson capturing the power and pride of Queer Joy, shot in a barber’s chair. No filters, no retouching, no compromise. Just bold, beautiful people taking up space exactly as they are.
Barbershops have long been places of transformation – places where identities are shaped, confidence is built and stories are shared. But they haven’t always been welcoming for everyone. UNCUT reclaims that space for queer bodies, queer styles and queer joy. It’s about authenticity, visibility and saying this is me without hesitation.
Mainstream media still sanitises queerness – polishing it down, making it more ‘palatable’, airbrushing out the edges. But representation isn’t just about being seen, it’s about being seen truthfully. UNCUT challenges the idea that queer beauty needs to fit a mould. It’s about self-expression on our own terms, without compromise.
For marginalised communities, visibility is power. It affirms existence. It creates connection. It tells the next generation: You belong. You are enough. You are art.
Chris Jepson has spent 3 decades documenting the depth and diversity of queer lives through portraiture. UNCUT builds on his previous projects, The Identity Project – A Portrait of a Community, which captured the breadth of LGBTQIA+ experiences, and Beyond The Binary – A Celebration of Trans Joy, which spotlighted the beauty and resilience of trans identities. This latest series continues that legacy — bold, unfiltered, and unapologetically queer.
