The photographic project Mugshots Company focuses on evoking sensations and stories through mugshot-style photos, a type of photography commonly associated with arrests and crime. The project's main idea is to create a fictional company dedicated exclusively to producing this style of photography, exploring the aesthetics and narrative behind prison imagery.
Through this concept, Mugshots Company seeks to reinterpret the classic mugshot style, presenting it as an artistic form that captures the raw expression, vulnerability, and character of the portrayed individuals. Each image aims to tell a story beyond the criminal act, conveying emotions such as resignation, defiance, or uncertainty. The fictional company acts as a metaphor to explore themes of identity, social stigma, and human nature through a visual format that is often cold and documentary-like.
