Great fashion photography is so
inspiring for my work, and I’m always drawn to those photographers
with a strong visual identity. My current favourite is Vanina
Sorrenti. Not only is she Mario Sorrenti’s sister, but her younger
brother, Davide, who died when he was just 20, and also their mother,
Francesca, were also photographers, so that talent must be in their
blood.
She actually started out in the
industry as a stylist, so I guess that’s one of the reasons she
understands fashion photography so well and how best to show the
clothes while creating unique images.
Vanina’s work can be beautiful and
dreamlike and innocent on one hand—when she shoots in natural light
it can be quite magical. But she also works with the digital
overlaying of images, say a naked girl superimposed on another shot
in which she’s clothed. The effect can get a little spooky, but the
end result is always compelling. I hope you find these pictures as
fascinating as I do.
