PAOLO ROVERSI " THE PAINTER OF IMAGES "
Paolo Roversi is a contemporary Italian fashion and commercial photographer. Characterized by soft, monochromatic photographs of women, his work often features figures shrouded in shadow and photographed with special care to accentuate striking facial features. Born in 1947 in Ravenna, Italy, Roversi's photography began in his teenage years and continued when he was employed by the Associated Press in 1970, and briefly hired as the assistant to Laurence Sackman in 1974. His career has bloomed to include celebrity and fashion photography at publications such as Elle, Vogue, and Marie Claire. Continuing to be a major force in contemporary fashion, he is notable for his use of 8x10 Polaroid film, which is no longer produced. "My photography is more subtraction than addition. I always try to take off things,” Roversi has said. “We all have a sort of mask of expression. You say goodbye, you smile, you are scared. I try to take all these masks away and little by little subtract until you have something pure left.” His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions worldwide, including at Pace MacGill Gallery in New York, James Gallery in Moscow, and Comme des Garçons in Tokyo, among others. He lives and works in Paris, France.

This is the answer to anyone that claims that photography cannot be art.

those who say that photography is not art have little understanding of everything and not just photography

his way of painting with light made him one of a kind
Does anyone know how the light painting parts of this video were recorded? 0:23-0:30 for example, where the image slowly builds.

I had looked too some time ago and I didn't find much online. Few years ago I had a workshop with a photographer that knew him and had worked for him in Paris. We replicated Roversi's techniques, led by the photographer, but my final results were (to me) quite disappointing. The main issue is that, if you don't have his conceptual and artistic vision of the image before shooting, you can also refine your techniques, but you'll get easily erratic or lacklustre results. It's a bit like painting copying the style of a great painter without being him. In any case you can learn a lot, experimenting with his techniques.

Learn in real time. Grab your camera and tripod, a dark room and any non LED torch and you’ll be surprised what you can make.
