Roversi describes his studio as "a little space for the imagination, the feelings, the fantasy", but his creative freedom also comes form the trust that his clients put in him with a concept/ idea.
A question to consider is what happens when the 'little space for the imaginations' goes beyond the studio and the four walls! How does this impact my work?
I find that i don't think enough of myself and i don't trust myself enough as a photographer. Which SO far, i think i have managed to mention numerous times throughout this blog. CLEARLY its an issue i need to deal with!
I was reading an article that Roversi did and this particular question and answer stuck close to home with me:
PDN : Has your approach to lighting changed much over the course
of your career ?
Roversi : Yes. In the beginning, my lighting was very stiff, very different from today. I was taking a lot of care with the light. Maybe the relationship between the light and me was young, so I was a little bit scared of the light. But now the relationship is much cooler - we know each other much better and everything is much easier. In the beginning, like many young photographers, I think I wanted to show what I was able to do with the light. I was more narcissistic about it.
Now I am much more humble. I prefer to hide what my light is doing. Now I work more in a way that the subject is dictating the light.
