Paolo Roversi firma Calendario Pirelli, prima volta di un fotografo italiano

La prima volta di un fotografo italiano: l'onore tocca a Paolo Roversi, autore del prossimo The Cal, il calendario Pirelli fenomeno di costume. Roversi, a quanto si apprende, sta preparando nelle strade di Verona l'imminente shooting ed è facile ipotizzare un'ispirazione tematica per il calendario con l'iconica storia di Giulietta e Romeo.

PAOLO ROVERSI LA CARRIERA

Paolo Roversi is a photographer best known for his striking, intimate portraiture and classical visual language. His photographs occupy a realm between the past and present, resulting in imagery that feels at once progressive and familiar.Roversi’s interest in photography began at an early age during a trip to Spain, prompting him to build a darkroom for printing his black and white photographs. He began his professional career in 1970 with photojournalism assignments, but soon shifted his focus to fashion. After a period assisting Laurence Sackman, Roversi started shooting his own fashion editorials and advertising campaigns, the resulting catalogue of which over the years has made him one of the industry’s preeminent image-makers.

In the early 1980s he added large-format Polaroid photography to his practice, a medium that continues to enhance his trademark style.Roversi is widely regarded fashion and portrait photographer and has documented all the most famous models and movie stars. His photographs have been published internationally in magazines such as Vogue, W Magazine and Vanity Fair. He has collaborated with leading fashion and beauty houses, creating images for brands from Comme des Garçons, Dior and Guerlain to Armani, Chanel, and Lancôme.

During his 40-year career as a photographer, Roversi has published several, including Angeli, Libretto, Nudi, Studio and Secrets and his work has been exhibited at galleries and museums around the world.
