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.

    Danylo Vasylenko  |   Portrait by Rino Pucci 🖋️ Rino writes: Stevenson Square is one of my favourite spots in Manchester city centre, especially now that has been pedestrianised. It's very close to the Northern Quarter, and it's an area with plenty of history, architectural treasures, and visible traces of industrial heritage. It looked like the perfect spot to take Danylo's portrait.

    Matty Kidelis  |  📸 Portraits by Rino Pucci f Matty Kidelis  |  📸 Portraits by Rino Pucci for the When in Manchester series 🐝 🖋️ Rino writes: Matty has such an intense look in this portrait that we took in a car park in the city centre – we were lucky as I wanted an empty top-level space, and we found it, with access ramps and all! I love the fact that it overlooks the city streets. Matty did a great job providing the right amount of mystery, making the image so open to interpretation. This portrait is for the When in Manchester series, my long-term project of urban portraits taken in Manchester – “frozen frames” from a wander around the city and suburbia. #naturallight #blackandwhite #bw #portraiture #portrait_society #portraits #environmentalportrait #wheninmanchester #manchester #urbanportraiture

    Angela Stevens   |   Portrait by Rino Pucci 🖋️ Rino writes: The marvellous thing about meeting a sitter several times is that trust is built session after session; people on both sides of the camera get accustomed to each other, and there is potential for exploration and depth. Angela has been working as a professional model for decades, and I have portrayed her several times now, always achieving great results. This time, I suggested Angela step out of her comfort zone and be portrayed as a person, not a model. She graciously accepted, and we kept it simple – and, dare I say, beautiful.
