Italian born Roversi's career began by assisting fashion photographer Laurence Sackman. Based in Paris, Roversi has carved a niche in the world of fashion photography, renowned for his often impressionistic, classical images which regularly grace the pages of Italian Vogue. Roversi's book "Nudi", a collection of ethereal nudes of virtually all the world's top models is a testament to the respect the fashion world holds for this important photographer. He works more often than not with large-format Polaroid film and in the studio where he is able to control the light and the expsoure times. His images are often blurry and colorful bordering on the truly impressionistic. In the world of fashion where clothes are the focus, he manages through his emotive imagery to capture shape, color and movement while not obsessing on detail. One cannot help but feel a sense of classical treatment of his subjects from the positioning his models and the quality of the light sources.More of Paolo Roversi's work can be seen at the photographer's website www.paoloroversi.com. Paolo is like the father I wish I had. A true gentleman.
