Paolo Roversi was born in Ravenna in 1947 and started out in a cellar for a darkroom. Some of his first jobs included photographing a funeral and celebrities, but he moved to Paris in 1973 and after working as a journalist for the Huppert Agency, he turned to fashion photography. He has worked for a large variety of fahion magazined, including Elle, Depeche Mode and Marie Claire (who gave him his first big break.)
I love how he makes his subjects seem mysterious, intriguing, maybe even out of this world.
"Photography goes beyond the limits of reality and illusion. It brushes up against another life, another dimension, revealing not only what is there but was is no there. Every photograph is an encounter, an intimate, reciprocal confession."
- Paolo Roversi
Photography is art, but in his photos, there is a romantic meeting between fine art and photography.
"Like any art worthy of the name, the most brazen lie can evolve into surprising and seductive truth."
- Paolo Roversi
