Overview
Born in Ravenna, Italy, in 1947, Paolo Roversi discovered photography at the age of seventeen on a family vacation. A chance meeting with photographer Peter Knapp led him to move to Paris in the early 1970s, where he first encountered the world of fashion. His career truly began when he became an assistant to Laurence Sackman, who taught him the photographer’s craft.
Roversi is famed for his use of large-format Polaroid film to capture images of ethereal beauty, vulnerability, and romanticism. Working in evocative monochrome or carefully articulated color, he collaborates regularly with the world’s top supermodels and designers, and has shot for many leading fashion magazines and international ad campaigns. This title in the Photofiles series brings together Roversi’s signature images from his entire career in an attractive pocket-sized edition, celebrating the work of one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
