FILM NOIR
PHOTOGRAPHY WITH
PICSARTIST OF THE
MONTH BRUNO
FEATURED: Artist
The black and white photography of Bruno
(@bruconte) has the exceptional quality
of being consistently marvelous, with an
ominous emotional power that evokes film
noir cinema.
To start, he knows how to capture
environments, framing them to emphasize
their size and grandeur, and always playing
with symmetry, patterns, and unusual
angles to grab and hold your attention. His
inky black shadows and bright pale whites

create dramatic contrasts that heighten the
emotional power of each image.
What makes Bruno really special though, is
that on top of his mastery of composition, he
knows how to shoot people with theatrical
prowess. Whether it’s a man straightening
his tie looking on to a stumbling woman in
a night dress, or a dark silhouette slowly
walking down a dock, Bruno’s subjects come
across as characters that fill his photos with
their shady charisma.
