Declan Kelly is a photographer and director who has usually worked between portrait and fashion.
He is the art director of UTOPIA, a queer sports zine built from the ground up which raised £5K for Mermaids to support trans youth.
Declan has always been drawn to collaboration, working with creative visionaries such as Jeanie Crystal, Eliza Rose, Sally C and Rebecca Ozer. The outcome of this collaborative work has landed in publications including Wonderland and Huck mag. Some of Kelly’s most recent projects include the imagery for short film, Tumtum, and photography for the ‘You Make Me Feel’ exhibition at Southwark Gallery.
“My style is rooted in masculinity, identity and youth culture. There’s a softness to it, often shot in natural light.
“It’s portraiture, but with that intimate sort of feel. A lot of the images — especially of the boys — feel like self-portraits.
“Mistakes or unexpected moments on the day often become the best parts. There’s a kind of looseness I like to leave space for!
“With my photography, I just want the viewer to feel something. Whatever that is – it’s theirs.
“It’s hugely important — essential, really — that queer voices are not just heard but genuinely seen, given space.”

We are delighted to announce a very special BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS at BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café London with YOUR INTERNET BOYFRIENDS, Mark and Denis.
Two Irish comedians. One gay, one straight and, let’s be honest, both gorgeous.
After selling out the Pleasance Theatre in London, they’re stepping into BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS for a night that’s a little more… intimate.
They will be recording a live episode of their podcast, followed by a chat with BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast host Graeme Smith.
This is a very limited, VIP-only evening. Small and exclusive.
Expect unfiltered chat, the chance to ask your questions directly, and a room full of boys, boys, boys. Think less “show,” more “friendly chat”
Tickets are extremely limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Available now from boysboysboys.org / link in bio 🎟️

We are bringing you an IRL Shielded Hearts Fundraiser!
📍The Divine
🕰️ Wednesday 25th March at 7.30pm
🎟️ Tickets in bio!
Shielded Hearts brings you your mid-week genderqueer mingle, a celebration of trans-masculinity and a chance to affirm the trans community ahead of Trans Day of Visibility.
💫
We’re putting the spotlight on our trans-masculine hunnies, with a line-up of drag kings guaranteed to make you weak at the knees, plus trans and non-binary DJs who will absolutely blow you away. Expect performances, music, and powerful conversations as our featured models share why trans-masc visibility matters so much and what it was like having their pecs covered in plaster for the project.
And because every good night needs a little luck… who doesn’t love a raffle? 🎲
There’ll be a raffle on the night. Prizes will be beautifully queer, from art and goodies to creative mentoring sessions with other queer and trans creatives in our community.
Come mingle, celebrate, support, and uplift trans-masculine visibility. 💖

Der Instagram Story Viewer ist ein einfaches Tool, mit dem Sie Instagram Stories, Videos, Fotos oder IGTV heimlich ansehen und speichern können. Mit diesem Service können Sie Inhalte herunterladen und offline genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Wenn Sie etwas Interessantes auf Instagram finden, das Sie später überprüfen möchten, oder Stories anonym ansehen möchten, ist unser Viewer ideal für Sie. Anonstories bietet eine ausgezeichnete Lösung, um Ihre Identität zu schützen. Instagram hat die Stories-Funktion erstmals im August 2023 eingeführt, die schnell auch von anderen Plattformen übernommen wurde, dank ihres fesselnden, zeitlich begrenzten Formats. Stories ermöglichen es Nutzern, schnelle Updates zu teilen, sei es Fotos, Videos oder Selfies, ergänzt durch Text, Emojis oder Filter, und sind nur 24 Stunden lang sichtbar. Dieser begrenzte Zeitrahmen sorgt für eine hohe Interaktion im Vergleich zu regulären Posts. Heutzutage sind Stories eine der beliebtesten Methoden, um sich in sozialen Medien zu verbinden und zu kommunizieren. Wenn Sie jedoch eine Story ansehen, kann der Ersteller Ihren Namen in seiner Viewer-Liste sehen, was ein Problem für die Privatsphäre sein kann. Was ist, wenn Sie Stories durchsuchen möchten, ohne bemerkt zu werden? Hier wird Anonstories nützlich. Es ermöglicht Ihnen, öffentliche Instagram-Inhalte anzusehen, ohne Ihre Identität preiszugeben. Geben Sie einfach den Benutzernamen des Profils ein, das Sie interessiert, und das Tool zeigt dessen neueste Stories an. Funktionen des Anonstories Viewers: - Anonymes Browsen: Sehen Sie Stories, ohne in der Viewer-Liste zu erscheinen. - Kein Konto erforderlich: Sehen Sie öffentliche Inhalte, ohne ein Instagram-Konto zu erstellen. - Inhalte herunterladen: Speichern Sie beliebige Story-Inhalte direkt auf Ihrem Gerät für die Offline-Nutzung. - Highlights anzeigen: Greifen Sie auf Instagram-Highlights zu, auch über das 24-Stunden-Fenster hinaus. - Repost-Überwachung: Verfolgen Sie Reposts oder Interaktionen bei Stories für persönliche Profile. Einschränkungen: - Dieses Tool funktioniert nur mit öffentlichen Accounts; private Accounts bleiben unzugänglich. Vorteile: - Datenschutzfreundlich: Sehen Sie sich beliebige Instagram-Inhalte an, ohne bemerkt zu werden. - Einfach und unkompliziert: Keine App-Installation oder Registrierung erforderlich. - Exklusive Tools: Laden Sie Inhalte herunter und verwalten Sie sie auf eine Weise, die Instagram nicht bietet.
Behalten Sie Instagram-Updates diskret im Blick, schützen Sie Ihre Privatsphäre und bleiben Sie anonym.
Sehen Sie Profile und Fotos anonym an, ganz einfach mit dem Private Profile Viewer.
Dieses kostenlose Tool ermöglicht es Ihnen, Instagram Stories anonym anzusehen und dabei Ihre Aktivität vor dem Story-Ersteller zu verbergen.
Anonstories ermöglicht es Nutzern, Instagram-Stories anzusehen, ohne den Ersteller zu benachrichtigen.
Funktioniert nahtlos auf iOS, Android, Windows, macOS und modernen Browsern wie Chrome und Safari.
Priorisiert sicheres, anonymes Browsen, ohne Login-Daten zu benötigen.
Nutzer können öffentliche Stories ansehen, indem sie einfach einen Benutzernamen eingeben – kein Konto erforderlich.
Lädt Fotos (JPEG) und Videos (MP4) mühelos herunter.
Der Dienst ist kostenlos nutzbar.
Inhalte von privaten Accounts sind nur für Follower zugänglich.
Dateien sind nur für persönliche oder Bildungszwecke und müssen Urheberrechtsregeln entsprechen.
