Paolo Roversi Technique in Portraits & Fashion Posted August 3, 2007 Well, this is a bit late since a year has gone by but I just wanted to respond to the last comment by Dave about putting people first, then photography thing. I'm not one to jump up and wave my hands around about who've I had the opportunity to work with, but I think what the original poster was trying to say is that some photographers such as Roversi do put their subjects first, I know because I have worked with him. He is very much interested in creating an atmosphere with his subject and sometimes I have witnessed him unable to achieve this and other times I have witnessed the way he can bring a calm to a model just by a touch. He very much puts his subject first because he believes if he can't get that atmosphere of peace in his subject then he will definitely be unable to get a photo that expresses his emotions. Everyone has there thing, but to me he remains faithful to the spirit of the emotion of photography and to say he has not paid his dues is also false. He came to Paris from Italy and started working as a simple reporter, he has been around, believe it or not. Not everyone in the fashion arena is just a lackey.
