Great pictures! Thanks everbody.

He has published a new book called studio, beautiful cover.

Book Description
Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits, photographs that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi picture appears as if captured in the process of becoming--it develops on the page before our very eyes or, depending on perspective, it might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily with 8-by-10 inch Polaroids, and rarely on location. Studio is a milestone in his burgeoning bibliography. Designed as a series of 60 gatefolds, at first glance the book appears to be a collection of empty pages. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaf from a Polaroid--out of the blackness an image is revealed as if by magic. In images that represent nearly two decades of work, the collection offers a self-portrait of the artist and a window into the place where he creates his art. These photographs are a mix of both the published and the highly personal, but all have the intimacy engendered by that place where Roversi feels most at home. Clothbound, 11.25 x 12.5 in./60 pgs / 60 color.

About the Author
Paolo Roversi was born in 1947 in Italy. He currently lives in Paris, photographs for Harper's Bazaar, and has led numerous publicity campaigns for such illustrious clients as Christian Dior, Cerruti, Valentino, Yves Saint-Laurent, and Comme des Garçons.

This is all new to me ... :unsure:
 
Love the portraits posted in #382. Stella :heart:

Thanks for posting, Herr Oberst :flower:
 
I love love love Roversi!

He has been a more recent addition to my catalogue of influences as my eye slowly matures from the avant-garde to the classical.

I love the lack of focus, the softness of his colours, which all adds to an almost dream like state within his imagery. Must be alot to do with his use of polaroid.
 
His book Libretto is amazing. Apparently it was inspired by Comme Des Garcons. The cover is a soft cloth-y red paper and the book is so cute. It features work I have not seen before along with the CdG pics he took using the "lumps and bumps" collection. I want to buy it so bad.
