From student to master, .arena.photography portraiture has captured our hearts with its stunning and intimate compositions. We're proud to showcase the work of one of our talented alumni, whose passion for capturing the essence of a person shines through in every photograph.
Mauro's use of light and composition creates a sense of intimacy that draws you into each image, leaving you feeling genuinely connected with the subject. We're honoured to have been a part of Mauro's journey, and we can't wait to see where his talent takes him next! 🌟
Mauro was the winner of BJP Portrait of Britain 2021.

is a multi-talented student attending our Flexible Professional Photography Course.
An actor, performer and music producer, Vincenzo is now dipping his toes into photography.
This series came about during the Lightroom Course.
During this class, we ask our students to bring a selection of 50 unrelated images and an inspiration reference.
The reference will be observed to understand what possible ways of grading images there are and how to effectively capture a mood or atmosphere through colour grading, contrast and much more.
At the end of the week, just through post-production, they will have a cohesive series of 10 images that should look as though they've always meant to be together.
