Brilliant. Thanks for the heads up!
One of my favourite photographers !
He is winner of many awards, including eight World Press Photo and numerous Photographer of the Year Awards
Just to know more about this very talented italian photographer I’d like to share these links:

Thanks for sharing this new photo essay.
Every year NYT mag does such a great job with this feature. McGinley last year was awesome too.
Yummy!
Absolutely beautiful. So refreshing to not see a portfolio of the Conde Nast style of celebrity portraiture.
good pictures but too much fumbling around with digital colours for my taste – it also makes the claim of “no hair and make-up” somewhat pointless.
What, no Black & White?
can SOMEONE PLEASE tell me how that brownish photoshop technique is accomplished? it’s everywhere these days — editiorial, ads, everywhere. thx!
oh, yes, great images — it’s no wonder this fellow’s a magnum photographer. many shots online not in the mag; i love what he does with reflections and windows. and, well, everything.
thx for the link, rob
Great pictures!!!
Really nice.
@d.t. Isn’t this just selective desaturation in PhotoShop and/or Lightroom/Aperture?! What’s interesting is that Pellegrin did not do it himself but relied on post production studios. . . I wonder if it was time constraints or just that the budget was there from the NY Times and I assume these retouchers are top of tops in terms of skill.
I love these photos!
Let’s hope that this new austerity plan on celebrity photography has a trend-setting role in getting back role of having a photographer with a great eye (with perhaps one assistant) go out and bring back stories about their subjects instead of recording a staged theatrical production.
It is great to see the emphasis on the vision again instead of the production.
Amazing…the ‘Obama’s People’ photo essay left me cold, but this thing, quite frankly, hit a grand slam. There wasn’t one thing wrong with this story (I wasn’t put off by the ‘digital color’ knob-twiddling) and as Mark said, I sincerely hope we see more of this type of thing and less publicist-driven soap selling!

ALL the color postproduction of Paolo Pellgrin is made by 10bphotography studio, an italian team of digital experts based in Rome.
