Key Points:
- History of Paolo Roversi and how he became a photographer
- What is the key concept of the photographs
- What is the purpose of this image
- " I can't explain it technically, but when the exposure is very long, the picture on the subject is more intense. The presence is much stronger, much deeper - in the aura, in the eyes, there is something. Maybe the soul is coming into the eyes. That's something I learnt from looking at the early photographs. If you take a picture with the flash, for me is empty. There is an emptiness in the presence of the person" (Roversi, 2019)
Reading the photograph: Enigma of the woman reflection
What is the photograph of: A mirror reflection of a woman in a chair waiting on something that will happen. First impression is that the woman is troubled and worried about something. Man on the photograph is not in centre of the mirror to look at himself but looks at her. Is he watching her or there is something else?
Who is the woman on that image and who is the man on the photograph and what are they doing on that image. Is he a company or is a threat to her?
The image is focusing on the woman in the mirror and we know that as it is just her position the most important and story is about her. There seems to be a tension atmosphere in that dark room.
Another way of seeing could be that they are in the changing room and she is trying on her shoes and he is accompanying her.
