The Face of Your Art.
Cinematic Portraits & Press Photography for Musicians, Actors, and Creatives in London.
Your music starts with a story. Your portrait should do the same.
In a digital world, your image is often the first thing a listener consumes, before they hear a single note. Whether it's a Spotify thumbnail, a festival bio, or an album cover, your visual identity needs to match the depth and quality of your work.
I’m Marc Tunguz, a London-based photographer specializing in emotive, magazine-quality portraits for musicians, composers, and creative professionals.
I don't do "stiff" headshots. I create cinematic imagery that captures the essence of who you are as an artist.
The Marc Tunguz Difference: Deep Collaboration
Most photographers just tell you to "smile" or "look natural." I believe a great portrait, whether for an album cover or a spotlight CV, is built on trust.
We Talk First: Before we even pick up the camera, we discuss your insecurities, your goals, and the character you want to project.
You Are Seen, Not Just Shot: My process is transparent. On location, I show you the back of the camera frequently. You see the images, tell me what you love, and we adjust immediately.
Chasing the Cinematic: We explore. Whether utilising the dramatic architecture of London or the subtle light of a quiet studio corner, I use the environment to tell your story.

FAQs
-
No. While my style is popular in the music industry, I work with actors, writers, dancers, and visual artists who want portraits with a cinematic edge.
If you want a standard white-background headshot, I might not be the right fit. If you want something with mood and character, I am.
-
It's completely normal. My entire process is built to make you feel comfortable. By showing you the images as we shoot, you retain control over how you are perceived.
-
Both. London offers incredible natural backdrops for an "urban cinematic" look, but I can also arrange studio sessions for a cleaner aesthetic.
Your Portrait Journey Starts Here
Your creative journey is unique. Your portraits should reflect that depth.
Whether we are walking the streets of London chasing the perfect golden hour or discussing your upcoming performance, the goal is always the same: to create a piece of art that makes you feel seen and allows your audience to connect with you instantly.
I am available for portrait commissions in London, across the UK, and for international projects in many locations like Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, France, the US and Japan.
