Vincenzo Cottinelli

Vincenzo Cottinelli is a portrait photographer based in Brescia who has, for years, been portraying the faces of writers, philosophers, artists and notable cultural figures. His portrait photography is not merely an image registry: it is an encounter. Cottinelli seeks the truth of expression, the measure of a stance, the subtle trace that makes each subject unique, transforming the portrait into a testimony of presence. Why choose him - Established expertise: decades of work with both public figures and private clients have honed his ability to capture complex identities without artifice. Many of his portraits have been published or used as book covers and in exhibitions, attesting to a recognisable and professional style. - Portrait specialization: his approach places the portrait at the centre, paying careful attention to light, framing and context. Although experienced in reportage and event photography, his principal strength remains the face and the relationship he builds with his subjects. How he works Vincenzo favours a discreet, attentive method: before the appointment he listens to the client’s story and needs to define the tone of the portrait (formal, informal, editorial). During the session he creates a relaxed, conversational atmosphere that puts even those unused to the camera at ease. He photographs both indoors and outdoors, in the spaces that best tell the person’s story — from the workplace to the home, and in urban or natural settings that dialog with the subject. Relevant services - Professional portraits and self-portraits for those seeking an authentic, carefully composed image; - Corporate and business portraits for LinkedIn, CVs and institutional communications; - Portraits for publications and book covers, drawing on his editorial experience and cultural collaborations. Style and added value Cottinelli’s eye is cultivated, often influenced by his practice in black and white and by a search for intimate, dense atmospheres. His images aim to restore dignity and character while avoiding stereotyped poses.
