About

I show up anyway, because the photograph isn't for the place. It's for the person who'll never go there.

I'm Bruno Bertini. I work in the space between a stranger's face and the moment they decide to let you look. The labels – street, documentary, and portraiture – don't matter much. What matters is that the person in front of me chose to be there. Every portrait in my work is made with consent. Not because the rules say so, but because the exchange changes the picture entirely.
