Portraits Reinvented

Portraits Reinvented

Rolling waves, handheld mirrors and animated paintstrokes. The accompanying subjects in these vibrant portraits are seemingly simplistic yet awash with sensory and visual information. The selection is characterised by a sense of playfulness and spirited spontaneity, located in seamless environments where summer never seems to end. Each vignette offers a sophisticated and well-presented palette of colours, with arresting blues, striking reds and bright white accents. These appear alongside an intriguing mix of textures and layers – crumpled paper, blurry plant life and seamless horizons that blend into rippled oceans. Laura Perrucci and De Santis Matteo are a creative duo based in Italy. They push the boundaries of photography, developing and questioning the definition of image-making. Experimentation is fundamental to their practice – combining literary and cinematic references. IG: @ellegramm  |  @hereistheo.
