Sorry if this has been already posted, but I really recommend the new edition of STUDIO. It's absolutely beautiful! Grab your copy while it's available!

Studio
by Paolo Roversi
steidldangin

Studio features nearly two decades of Paolo Roversi’s hugely influential studio portraiture. Within the confines of his Paris studio, Roversi photographs using a 8 x 10 Polaroid format, often allowing the images to fade before fixing them to their substrate. His long exposures at close range harness an aesthetic from the earliest days of studio photography, but with a renewed urgency that wavers somewhere between history and apparition.

Stripped of the usual accoutrements of studio portraiture, Roversi’s subjects push back with a vulnerable intensity that reveals as much of the photographer as of the model. The images collected here function not only as a series of individual portraits, but also as a collective self-portrait of the artist and the place that stands at the center of his work.

First published in 2005 in a limited edition, this new edition of Paolo Roversi’s sumptuous and critically acclaimed book presents this distinctive body of work in an accessible trade edition.

This is probably a silly request/question, but since I was thinking of getting 'Studio' could someone just confirm that it chronicles most/some of his work from his early days (70s/80s?) up until today? Or is it mostly 'portraits' as in close-ups?

TIA

Hi
I have the original book version which I believe has the same content as the new version. It is only black and white and there is no fashion in there if that is what you were hoping to find.
It's a nice book though. Maybe you should look at it in a bookstore before purchasing it
