Imagine turning yourself into a strawberry, Kylie Minogue's boyfriend or one of the Queen's corgis.

This is the kind of stunt Neel Morley performs regularly and has spent a small fortune doing.

His art lies in how he documents it - in photo booths.

He went to Brighton station until it went digital and now goes to the the Co-op in London Road.

For 11 years he has been creating costumes, backdrops and paper cut-outs with the help of friends.

He says: "I really enjoy doing it, it just gives me such a buzz. People do not believe they're all done in photo booths."

A fan of Heat magazine and Kylie, Neel took the cover, cut out boyfriend James Gooding's face and put his own in its place.

He always writes about each shoot on the back of the pictures.

"I think I make a convincing boyfriend for Kylie," he says of his memory with his paper pop idol.

In a tribute to Salvador Dali, Neel covered himself in black make-up, perched a lobster on his head and put on a pink moustache against a lime green background.

"It was a pain because the neon pink moustache would not stay on but we did it," he recalls.

"It went really well but, when you use black facepaint, it is a nightmare to get off."

He has had only a couple of hitches. Once he arrived at a booth in full garb to find the machine broken. On another occasion he got caught in the rain on the way to the booth, make-up running down his face.

Neel has to get a new passport in a couple of weeks and is finding the prospect of a "normal" photograph daunting.

Sadly, his art form is threatened as traditional machines are being phased out and replaced with digital ones that produce a different format, four images that are all the same.

But this doesn't faze Neel. "I like the fact it's a dying art form," he says.
