Mario Sorrenti has been an important part of contemporary fashion photography since he came onto the scene in the early 1990s. He is most well known for his sensual aesthetic.
Born in Naples, Italy, Mario grew up in New York and as a young adult quickly developed a love for experimenting with image-making predominantly through photography, but also painting. At the age of 21, Mario photographed his then-girlfriend Kate Moss in carefully composed black-and-white images of quiet, unguarded intimacy. The images were seen by Calvin Klein and went on to become the famous Obsession campaign, launching his international career.
