In perspective A shared escape into photographic infinity lies at the heart of this series, which takes in a variety of places and landscapes.
In the limelight Since I began photographing professionally (in 1987), the nude has always been one of my favorite subjects, along with portraiture and fashion. Today, however, I'm forced to admit that for many years now, it has become increasingly difficult to exhibit nudes, whether in galleries or on social networks.

Paolo Roversi: Between Light & Darkness Paolo Roversi photographs fashion like no one else. He is also an outstanding portraitist, creating images that are both soft and deep, and whose signature is instantly recognizable. His work is instinctive and irrational, as he likes to say. His world is made of fantasy, dreams and poetry. The aestheticism of his images is like an imaginary language created by the photographer. To celebrate…
