About Elad Itzkin

Elad Itzkin is a Berlin-based photographer specialising in UV neon bodypainting photography. Working in complete darkness under black light, Elad Itzkin captures fluorescent body art as glowing, otherworldly portraits — painted skin transformed into living colour against a field of pure black.

Each image is a collaboration between Elad Itzkin, the bodypainter and the model. The work explores the boundary between skin, light and paint: intricate blacklight designs that only reveal themselves under UV, photographed to preserve every fluorescent detail and the depth of the darkness around them.

The gallery brings together UV body paint, blacklight and neon photography created with body artists and performers from Berlin and across Europe. Every photograph credits the model and the bodypainter behind it, honouring the artists who make each shoot possible.

Based in Berlin and available for bodypainting, UV and fine-art portrait shoots internationally, Elad Itzkin also works in yoga and fine-art photography. To commission a session, collaborate on a project, or licence an image, get in touch via the contact page or on Instagram.
