Escaping beauty: a photo album by Paolo Roversi

16 November, 2017

On February 18, 2018, an album of photographs by Paolo Roversi will be on sale, which were published in W Magazine, British and French Vogue.

Paolo Roversi many times asked why he uses only an instant photo, and he always answers that he has not found another way to express himself, his attitude to the world. "At the casting, I always try to find something special in the faces of the models that shows some depth and mystery inside them," explains the photographer in one of the countless interviews. "They make me dream." Thanks to them, my dreams go into reality. "

The detachment from earthly reality, which appears in the models on the polaroids of Paolo Roversi, became his signature handwriting. These are not women, they are nymphs, and dresses from famous couturiers only emphasize their ephemeral beauty. In Roversay's photos, not only the woman, but her clothes have a soul, so the stars, magazines, and fashion houses express a desire to work with the photographer, despite the price of 40 thousand dollars for the shooting.
