Mugshot – the portrait offer you can’t refuse

There is definitely something morbid about our fascination with police mugshots – the outcome of what is easily the most uncomfortable of all portrait sessions.

  • Archives are always full of surprises, aren't they? If this looks like an image with a cinematic feel to it, it's because this is a portrait I took while I was researching for a short film (which is still in the making) and we were putting together a moodboard (featuring model Anne Ecklebe). This morning I was rummaging through my folders when this shot popped up – it screamed of fragility and nostalgia and imperfection and innocence and much more... All good reasons to share it with you all. © rinopucci.com 2019 . . . . . #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #shortfilm #photooftheday #photographylovers #headshot #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #manchester #artportrait #innocence #lnaturallight #portraiture #editorialportrait #actorslife #actinglife #nostalgia #photostudio #excellent_portraits #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait #pr0ject_soul

  • I am so happy for Zuzana Spacirova @zuzanspacir as she will take part in The Fringe @edfringe this year with The Life of Spies – "in two weeks a little dream of mine will come true", says Zuzana. Here she is in a portrait we took recently, where all her carisma shines through. Well done Zuzana! © rinopucci.com 2019 . shot in London with Fujifilm GFX 50s . . . . #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #londonphotographer #photooftheday #photographylovers #headshot #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #londonportrait #artportrait #blackandwhite #lnaturallight #portraiture #editorialportrait #actorslife #actinglife #mediumformat #photostudio #excellent_portraits #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait #repostmyfujifilm
  • ...back on Instagram after weeks being busy with offline, real-life projects :-) It's a good time to be back, as I've been told that a portrait series by me will be published soon by a well-established magazine. Hurrah! Because of NDAs, pics being embargoed etc etc I can't say anything more... but as the very talented (and very generous) actor Winnie Ahrin is involved in this project, today I am going to publish a headshot I took of her a while back, as a way to say thank you – to Winnie and all the other participants. Stay tuned! © rinopucci.com 2019 . shot in London with Fujifilm GFX 50s . . . . #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #londonphotographer #photooftheday #photographylovers #headshot #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #londonportrait #artportrait #photography #lnaturallight #portraiture #editorialportrait #actorslife #actinglife #mediumformat #photostudio #excellent_portraits #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait #repostmyfujifilm
  • This is one of the portraits I will be more proud of, as the sitter is someone I greatly admire. Vidhya Ramalingam is the co-founder of Moonshot CVE, a company using technology to disrupt and counter violent extremism globally. She directs overall strategy and oversees campaigns, software development, and digital projects in over 25 countries. Her work is underpinned by over a decade of experience engaging directly with extremists, building new partnerships with activists, and advancing policy design with international governments. The portrait has been featured in a long and fascinating interview that Vidhya gave to the CTC magazine (The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point educates, advises, and conducts research to equip present and future leaders with the intellectual tools necessary to understand the challenges of terrorism and counterterrorism). © rinopucci.com 2019 . shot in London with Fujifilm GFX 50s -- in my studio at @hotelelephant . . . . . #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #londonphotographer #photooftheday #photographylovers #headshot #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #londonportrait #artportrait #photography #lnaturallight #portraiture #editorialportrait #actorslife #actinglife #mediumformat #photostudio #excellent_portraits #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait #repostmyfujifilm

  • We recently worked with dancer and choreographer Agata Olszewska on a portfolio of contemporary-dance-inspired portraits with a squeeze of drama. What a great privilege to witness Agata performing in front of the camera with grace and confidence and capture her movements, her intense expressions, her story! © rinopucci.com 2019  shot in London with Fujifilm GFX 50s -- in my studio at @hotelelephant . . . . . #dancersofinstagram #contemporary #movement #dancersofig #dancerlife  #contemporarydancer #worldwidedance #dance #dancephotography #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #londonphotographer #photooftheday #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #londonportrait #artportrait #photography #portraiture #editorialportrait #mediumformat #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #portrait #repostmyfujifilm
  • Getting portraits commissioned by fellow creative practitioners is always a great opportunity to learn about different practices. Take Laura Ella for example – she is a costume creative, pattern cutter and printed textile artist. I have huge admiration for Laura's ethos: she provides bespoke special occasion-wear aimed at everyone and anyone by using ethical fabrics and hardware that is animal free, plant-based and unique. Watch this space as Laura and myself will work together on something special – stay tuned! © rinopucci.com 2019 . shot in Manchester with Fujifilm GFX 50s . . . . #portraitmood #portraitoftheday #portraitphotography #londonphotographer #photooftheday #photographylovers #headshot #photographerslife #headshotphotographer #londonportrait #artportrait #photography #lnaturallight #portraiture#editorialportrait #manchester #actinglife #mediumformat #photostudio #excellent_portraits #londonphotography #londonheadshots #portraitstream #portrait_perfection #portraitvision #studioportrait #behindthescenes #portrait #enviromentalportrait #repostmyfujifilm
