Where do you look when being photographed? How should you pose? How do you feel about yourself?
In our culture preoccupied with outward appearances, Dianne Minnicucci explores how vulnerability and discomfort in front of the camera can become acts of self-discovery and collaboration. She embraces the unease of being photographed – where to look, how to position the body – allowing these moments of uncertainty to shape this new series of self-portraits.
She was encouraged by her students at Thomas Tallis School in Greenwich, while spending six months transforming her classroom into an artist studio. By merging the roles of artist and teacher, the classroom became a shared space for conversation – a place to reflect on how it feels to be photographed, and what we reveal about ourselves in the process.
We're sharing her portraits in new displays on Tabernacle Street and Clerkenwell Road in London as part of Minnicucci’s solo exhibition Belonging and Beyond.

Dianne Minnicucci (born 1977, Darlington, UK) is a London-based visual artist exploring the boundaries of documentary storytelling. Rooted autobiographically, her work presents familial moments loaded with intimacy.
She is interested in a sensitive, intuitive approach to documentary style photography, unravelling the tension between the obscuring and unveiling of identity, knowing and unknowing, desire and fear.
Minnicucci studied Fine Art Film and Video at Central St. Martins. She is Head of Photography at Thomas Tallis School in south east London.
