Based in Old Trafford, Rino Pucci is a portrait specialist offering studio and on-location sessions. He creates professional headshots, business portraits and personal portraits with a gentle, conversational style.
Rino Pucci is a Manchester-based portrait specialist working from Old Trafford. Portraiture is his core practice: he believes portraits are about people and that "it is more important to click with people than to click the shutter." With two decades of experience as a visual journalist and a practiced eye honed through both still and moving imagery, Rino concentrates on making professional portraits that feel honest, considered and human. His approach is deliberately personal and collaborative. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a composed business portrait for company material, or a personal portrait to mark a milestone, Rino focuses on putting people at ease. He uses a gentle, conversational method—what he calls "taking portraits | talking portraits"—that helps even camera-shy clients relax. Sessions aim to be empowering and calm: Rino guides pose and expression, listens to your story, and shapes images that reflect both presence and personality. Stylistically, Rino favours portrait photography that connects: clear, well-lit headshots, studio chiaroscuro when appropriate, and natural-light location work that situates the subject in context. He routinely shoots in fully equipped photo studios across Manchester (serving Old Trafford and surrounding areas) and London, and also offers on-location sessions. While portraiture is his specialism, Rino’s broader background in editorial and documentary work informs the way he captures authentic moments and subtle character. Working with Rino is more than a photoshoot: it’s a creative exchange. He often pairs image-making with thoughtful conversation—writing about photography is part of his practice—and he tailors each session to the client’s goals, whether that’s a striking professional headshot, a relaxed personal portrait, or a business portrait that communicates leadership and approachability. If you’re in Old Trafford or Greater Manchester and want professional portraits that combine technical skill, empathy and narrative sensitivity, Rino Pucci offers a focused, specialist service designed to help you present your truest self with confidence and clarity.
