Stilisti

The story

"I love telling stories, I really do. Every one of my photos tells a story, and each shot is part of a bigger narrative. Even the fashion editorials I’ve done are stories—there’s staging, a setting, a storyline..."

(Carlo Orsi in conversation with Federico Sardella, 2008)

The faces of the designers

"Although he also excelled in fashion photography, it never truly captivated him. He favored the authentic faces of the designers who dressed the models over the polished, almost plastic expressions of the models themselves. Carlo was a true master of portraiture."

(Giovanni Porzio, Gabriella Simoni, “Una doppia sintonia”, in Carlo Orsi. Miracoli a Milano, catalogo della mostra [Palazzo Morando, Milano, 31 ottobre 2024-2 febbraio 2025], a cura di Giangiacomo Schiavi e Giovanni Terruzzi, Moebius, Milano p. 30)
