Cinematic Portrait Photography:
Capturing the Creative Soul in London
Your career is about connection. Your music, your performance, your art, it all starts with a story. Your portrait should do the same.
I’m Marc Tunguz, a London-based photographer specialising in cinematic, emotive portraits for artists, musicians, actors, and creative professionals.
Forget stiff poses and sterile backgrounds. My entire process is built on collaboration, deep communication, and making you feel genuinely comfortable. The result is a refined, magazine-quality portrait that doesn't just show what you look like, but who you are and captures the powerful essence of your craft.
The Power of an Emotion-Led, Cinematic Portrait
In the visual marketplace of the arts, an ordinary headshot is easily overlooked. Your portrait needs to be as compelling and unique as your work.
The Marc Tunguz Difference: More Than a Photo Session
You are seen, not just shot: My sessions are a deep collaboration. Before we even pick up the camera, we discuss your insecurities, your goals, and the story you want to tell. We craft a moodboard together to align our vision completely.
A Truly Collaborative Process: On location, we work as a team. I show you the back of the camera frequently. You see the images, tell me what you love, what you don't, and we adjust immediately. We don't stop until you've seen a collection of shots that you genuinely love.
Chasing the Perfect Light: We move, we explore, and we chase that cinematic moment. Whether utilizing the dramatic architecture of London or the subtle light of a quiet corner, we use location as a storytelling partner to enhance your narrative.
Refined, Authentic Results: The final product is a collection of high-standard portraits that truly look like you, ready for album covers, theatrical playbills, press packs, and personal branding.
