Mario Sorrenti (Fashion)


























Mario Sorrenti born 24th October 1971 in Naples, Italy.  Sorrenti moved to New York City in 1981 at the age of just 10.  He is the son of New York based advertiser Francesca Sorrenti, Mario is also the older brother of fashion photographer Davide Sorrenti.  Sorrenti is most known for photo spreads of nude models in pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.  He has had exhibitions in London, Monaco, New York and Paris Museums of Modern Art.  He has directed several Calvin Klein adverts over the years.  He has also previously worked with Lancome, Paco Robanne, Benetton and Pirelli Calendar 2012.  He is currently under contract with the agency Art Partner.  So as soon as Art Partner get contacted about a shoot they will send out Sorrenti to the shoot.





In this photo Iggy Pop and straight away you know that you can tell it is a Sorrenti photo because all across the image you can see Art Partner and that is the agency he works for.  The lighting in this picture look natural but you can tell the light is coming from the subjects right hand side.  You can tell that Iggy Pop is the main focus in this image because the background behind him isn't in focus and either is the wine bottle in front of him.  Make him the focus draws the people into think what he has been doing at the table, you can tell that he has been eating but his facial expression makes him look like he is upset or depressed or maybe he is just thinking about something but you can't work it out because he is sat on his own if there was something else in the photo that would could help the audience determine what is up with him, put maybe that is the whole point to keep the audience guessing.  The shot is a mid shot so he must be about 6 feet away but also the angle isn't looking straight on the camera is looking across from his left side and also the camera seems to be looking slightly down on him making him look like he is worthless, so maybe this man is poor and that's the reason he looks depressed.  This isn't Sorrenti usual style he mainly uses the sexy look same to Richardson but all photographers will go out of the comfort zone to improve there skills and make there style have a wider range.
