His compositions aren't anything special and he has no connection with his subjects. If he's interested in doing good portraiture, he should pick non-fashion models with more expressive faces or at least use more interesting fashion models. some of the models he uses like Gemma and stella tenant are totally dead in front of the camera.

agreed on his compositions, they aren't at all special
but i think he has very distinctive style and it is his very own

Definitely. You see a Roversi photo and you instantly know it's him. And that says a lot of a photographer nowadays.

That's exactly what I am thinking, really like those painting feelings.

A photo from his "Divina" shoot with Gisele, from 1999 I think.
