It’s a big difference from when you’re editing pictures and printing them.
I’m glad too because it’s really nice to see them all together in a book. Maraya-Well I’m glad he convinced you they’re really beautiful prints. From that point on we really went full steam ahead we finished the edit, and I started doing the prints. Then about ten months ago, Dennis met with the people at Phaidon. It took about three years to get the time together to edit the pictures, because we did it during our off time, and we really took our time because there was no rush to it. He really pushed me into finally doing this. About eight years ago my wife, who was in charge of organizing and digitizing my archives, came across all the pictures and she told me, ‘you know you should really do something with these, they’re so beautiful.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, sure, one day it’ll be the right time, who knows.’ When I showed the pictures to Dennis Freedman, he told me that I really needed to make the book. Maraya Fisher- You’ve been holding on to these images for a little while, what inspired you to publish them now? As his daughter, Gray Sorrenti, an 18-year-old budding photographer with a Loewe campaign under her belt, begins her career, the elder Sorrenti reflects on the early ’90s, how his photography practice has evolved over the past few decades, and passing down the craft. Today, Sorrenti is considered one of the most prolific and well-respected fashion photographers of our time. Though they eventually served as inspiration for the iconic Calvin Klein Obsession campaign that launched both of their careers, these images of Kate sunbathing, clipping her bathing suit to a clothesline, and nursing a wound on her foot were originally intended for Sorrenti’s diary. The book, edited by Dennis Freedman, the founding creative director of W magazine, offers an intimate glimpse at their relationship. At the time Sorrenti was an emerging photographer, sleeping on his agent’s couch and pinching pennies to buy film. We spent the next two years together we were inseparable.”Įarlier this month Phaidon released Kate, a collection of 50 portraits (see an exclusive image from the book above) of Moss taken by Mario Sorrenti during that period. They met again by chance a few months later at a party, and the photographer recalls spending the whole evening together, “walking into the early morning until we fell asleep in the grass in Hyde Park. When Kate Moss and Mario Sorrenti first met in London the summer of 1991 during a modeling job, Sorrenti was immediately taken with her.
On the occasion of his new book ‘Kate,’ photographer Mario Sorrenti discusses starting out his career, slowing down in the age of digital photography, and passing on his craft to his daughter Gray.
