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.

How not to love Manchester – so full of fascinat How not to love Manchester – so full of fascinating characters and stunning locations.

Yiu Wai has just started her journey into modellin Yiu Wai has just started her journey into modelling and I am sure she will be ahead of the game very quickly. It is so refreshing to find young creative people like Yiu who are very eager to learn and explore, showing a genuine interest in the creative process that leads to good portraiture. She even suggested the location where to shoot her nature-themed portraits – the stunning Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden in Didsbury, Manchester – which proved to be a very inspiring setting.

SIGNALS 2 | Odessa. I liked it there. Good food. SIGNALS 2 | Odessa. I liked it there. Good food. I liked Genoa too. And Buenos Aires. And Mumbai. Life that doesn't repeat itself. Never. The Italian shoes. The burst of adrenaline, and the quiet night that follows. The smell of petrol and roasted chestnuts at the waterfront. Guangzhou 1974, but I might be wrong. Days and days waiting for a signal. A one-word cable. The rain never bothered me. The rain was on my side. The rain cleanses everything. Ports all look the same. No they don't, if you look closer. This guy from Marseille showed me why. We wandered for hours. No signal. Clang. At sunset, the flags were still. Clang. The chain felt heavy with a scent of sea. My French scarf didn't get soiled. Clang. Keep it clean, keep it cool. He had kept a picture in his wallet. A younger him, or perhaps his brother. And a few banknotes from some unheard-of African country, orange and green. Waves of smells at the warehouse. Coffee over there. Saltfish. Rusty iron tools. Spices. And the unmistakable humming sound of huge East German refrigerators, day in, day out. Sometimes I see faces from the past. Like daydreams. I close my eyes and I go back in time. Crane operators. Vigilantes. Pushers. Kebab makers. Cleaners. Cops. All silent, all involved in some sort of maritime business. None of them regretted it one bit. Me neither. Silence is what I like the most. No blood, no mess, and life that never repeats itself. ----- Featuring Matt Ah-Kan © Rino Pucci 2021 #naturallight #blackandwhite #bw #portraiture #portrait_society #portraits #environmentalportrait
