This is the funniest email of the week and we love the pictures! I have been working on this project for a long time, at a slow pace because it takes me a lot of time, energy, and it is for various reasons complex to organize. I have for the moment 9 images, which seems to me the minimum number to start calling it a series; and I said to…
For his second exhibition at the in camera gallery, the Catalan photographer Txema Salvans guides us, as usual, through a candid journey far from any artifice. Industrial areas, cargo ports, power stations and evanescent seaside resorts, the series “My Kingdom” documents with humor and light tenderness the gloomy summer adventures of the Spaniards. “I photograph my own culture, people and landscapes. I have to feel a physical connection with the…
Willy Maywald (1907-1985) was one of the most important photographers in Paris from the 1930s to the 1960s. His training at the Werkkunstschulen in Krefeld, Cologne and Berlin shaped his avant-garde formal language. In 1932 he moved on the Seine, where he made friends with many protagonists of artistic modernism. His range of subjects, which includes both commissioned and free works, extends from a spectacular collection of portrait photographs and…

In contrast to the spontaneous nature of photography, Pawel Żak claims that his images are 'fabricated'. This Polish artist constructs minimalist stagings with a great economy of means, where the action takes place without a character, but where man remains the main subject. Pawel Żak defines himself as "a visual artist who uses photography". This distinction is reflected in his creative process, which is more concerned with producing 'inner images'…
As part of the PHOTO 2024 festival, the Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) in Fitzroy, Australia announces its feature exhibition ‘Only the future revisits the past’. Here is the text of presentation. In this internationally significant exhibition, artists look towards the past to speculate future possibilities and consider change. It is well established that photography and film record the past, but these types of documents can also transform and dictate…
"- Do you want a souvenir?” At the beginning of the 20th century, to have a portrait of oneself became accessible. The “photo card” met this expectation. Traveling photographers did go out to meet their clients at their places of residence or work or stationed themselves in busy areas such as crossroads, tourist places, resorts, spas or means of transport. They also benefited from exceptional events such as religious celebrations,…

Shot in California, these works maintain Juhel's…

In the limelight Since I began photographing professionally (in 1987), the nude has always been one of my favorite subjects, along with portraiture and fashion. Today, however, I'm forced to admit that for many years now, it has become increasingly difficult to exhibit nudes, whether in galleries or on social networks. Without going into sociology, it's obvious that various reasons are behind the return of this form of prudery, which…
First, the Paolo Roversi exhibition at the Palais Galliera unveils 50 years of photographs, and reveals how the artist seized fashion to create a unique work. This is the first monograph dedicated to the photographer in Paris; and also publication by Gallimard of a new book, Lettres sur la Lumière with Emanuele Coccia, here are two great opportunities to dedicate this edition to the italian photographer who granted a rare…
Paolo Roversi: Between Light & Darkness Paolo Roversi photographs fashion like no one else. He is also an outstanding portraitist, creating images that are both soft and deep, and whose signature is instantly recognizable. His work is instinctive and irrational, as he likes to say. His world is made of fantasy, dreams and poetry. The aestheticism of his images is like an imaginary language created by the photographer. To celebrate…
Gallimard publishes Lettres sur la lumière (Letters on light) by Paolo Roversi and Emanuele Coccia. Paolo Roversi (born in 1947), is one of the most famous fashion photographers - but also a remarkable portraitist and Emanuele Coccia (born in 1976), philosopher, thinker of eternal transformation, keen on fashion and the morals of our era, chose the epistolary genre to deliver their thoughts to us. This correspondence revolves around light, taking as…
Archives - September 27, 2022 If Paolo Roversi has become one of the great names in fashion photography, it is perhaps thanks to the fascination he has always felt for the "mutual and intimate confession" that played out during the meeting of the the photographer and his model. That guided and inspired all his work and he took care to maintain its magic in the theater of his studio, using…
Archives - November 1, 2023 For this fifteenth title in the Des oiseaux (On Birds) collection, the fashion photographer and portraitist Paolo Roversi invites falconry birds to freely take over his studio and produces an intriguing series where owls, hawks and falcons appear shrouded in saturated lights on large format Polaroids. .

Archives - April 27, 2021 Ravenna, an amazing city lighted up by the gold of the mosaics of the Basilica of San Vitale and the deep blue ones with stars in Galla Placidia’s mausoleum.

The solo exhibition Paolo Roversi – Studio Luce at MAR Ravenna Art Museum dedicated…
