A portrait isn't a fact but an opinion - an occasion rather than a truth.Richard Avedon
Portraits come with a ‘click’ – sometimes with a ‘clack’
Can a portrait be taken with a typewriter? Such question sprang to my mind when, in Waterstones’ London bookshop in Piccadilly (on a display table aptly named “Typographical titillation”), I came across a delightful book by Marvin and Ruth Sackner, “The art of typewriting” (Thames & Hudson).

![[ 6 / 6 ] My guided tour through the 6 main portraits of my new website rinopucci.com comes to an end today.
Portrait no. 6 had a very clear brief – push me out of my comfort zone! I wanted to create a portrait which had to be different to any other I had even taken – something that should look like inviting/challenging the viewer, as it was set to accompany the headline “Ready to discover why portraits matter to you?”
So I came up with the idea of a crystal ball, which required a long day of trials and errors to get the right lens, the right light etc etc. But I was pretty confident as I had involved a top class actor Andrew Shire @actor_andrew_shire who nailed it as soon as we started the session!
