I am Giuseppe Irranca, a black and white portrait photographer. I look for the person beneath the image, with the natural light I love and, when a project asks for it, with a light designed for the occasion.

I have been photographing since I was fourteen. I work in black and white because colour distracts, and grey lets what lies beneath speak: a glance, a shadow, the curve of a smile nobody planned.

The light I love comes from a window, a wood, the sea, an overcast sky that caresses a face. When the story asks for something else, I build a light that suits it, and I always want it honest.

During a shoot we talk and laugh, I put people at ease, until every mask melts away and the real person is left. That is where I touch their soul, and that is where the portrait is born.

One of my portraits was selected and shown in Rome, at the Dantebus Margutta Gallery, in 2025.

Darkness is the depth of the soul.

The title of the work shown in Rome, and the way I look at every face.
