Igor Kucinic hand-cutting a silhouette portrait live at a Dior event
Commissioned Portraits

A silhouette cut from your photograph.

Can't book a live event? I hand-cut personalised silhouette portraits from a single side-profile photo — the same scissors, the same black paper, the same thirty years of craft, delivered as a keepsake worldwide.

By Hand, From A Photo

No digital tools. No tracing. Just scissors.

Send a clear, well-lit side-profile photo and I cut the silhouette entirely by hand on high-quality black paper — no software, no laser cutter. Each portrait is a unique, delicate artwork, mounted on fine card and ready to frame, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, or a family keepsake with several generations in one composition.

Frequently asked questions

How many silhouettes can you cut per hour?

I can cut up to 35 silhouettes an hour. Each portrait takes less than two minutes and is cut entirely freehand, without drawing, tracing or a template. Speed is part of the performance, but I never treat resemblance as secondary.

How many guests can you portray at an event?

Depending on the length and rhythm of the event, I usually create between 30 and 180 portraits, at a pace of around 35 silhouettes an hour. Once I know your schedule and guest count, I can suggest the most realistic format.

What do guests take home?

Each guest receives the original silhouette I cut for them, mounted on an elegant presentation card. It can often be personalised with a name, date, venue or company logo, turning a brief encounter into a keepsake designed to last.
