Based on real accounts, a model takes matters into her own hands to expose a serial predator in the photography world.

Winner of the Genera grant, Portrait is a tense drama short film, starring:
Sorcha Groundsell (His Dark Materials, Clique, The Innocents).

Winner of 7 Best Film awards and several other categories, PORTRAIT has been described as "distressingly authentic" and "brilliant and relevant".

It tells the story of Rhetta, an industrious model who sets up a shoot with a predatory photographer, notorious for his coercion tactics and aggressive actions. However, little does he realise that Rhetta has orchestrated this meeting as a sting to expose his inappropriate behaviour on an online video livestream.

The film is built on research from interviews with 21 models about their experiences overcoming the abuse of power in the photography world.
