A photographer who's work I follow recently shared an editorial which included a self portrait with his camera, and out of curiosity a buddy and I are trying to figure out what camera he's using in it - though it's hard to tell as it's such a small feature in the image. At first I thought T3, then TC-1, or Minilux. But the geometry of the rangefinder/flash windows don't match up with any of those. Not a Minilux either. I searched through every Ricoh, Minolta, Contax, and Leica compacts I could find on the wikis, to no avail. Now it's just bugging the hell out of me, so I figured this would be the best place to ask. Photo below - any ideas?

It's not a digital? Looks more like a digital point and shoot than a 35mm.
 
Looks like a phone. Note how it's being held.

100% not a phone. I typically hold my cameras this way when shooting vertical.

After studying a couple of other images, I'm thinking pretty positively it's a Ricoh GR1. Looked titanium in the above image, but I think that's coming from reflections. In the other images, it's obviously black and there is a logo on the bottom left.

Here's a link to the editorial: https://www.webberrepresents.com/news/chris-rhodes-for-after-noon
 
Perhaps this one will add more clues:

Looks like a Ricoh GR1 (the base titanium colour model), the original analogue trendsetter of 1996, not one of the later digital GR versions. Outside chance, a Konica Big Mini.
 
Contax T2 ?
