Recently 40th birthday fashion photographer Patrizio di Renzo has taken a series of stylish photographs for the Majo Fruithof jewelry catalog. In contrasting shots, the composition of which is verified to the smallest detail, the models resemble marble statues: unnaturally snow-white skin, special makeup, a frozen gaze directed somewhere into the distance.
Patrizio di Renzo (Patrizio di Renzo) was born in Switzerland, but now, perhaps, may well be considered a citizen of the world. The world of fashion, advertising and stylish photography. Of course, he did not get into this enchanting world right away. In his youth, he managed to photograph industrial objects, worked as an assistant for the famous fashion photographer Bruno Bisang in Paris, and freelanced in Milan.
In the early 90s, Patrizio di Renzo took his first steps in fashion photography. Soon he began to collaborate with such world famous glossy publications as Harper's Bazaar and Elle, creating memorable work for advertising campaigns. And for 6 years now, as a successful master, he opened his own photo studio in the Swiss town of Bar, and has recently been trying his hand at producing music videos.
However, we are now interested in fashion photographs of the most talented author. Pictures by Patrizio di Renzo do not copy reality (why multiply entities that are already known to everyone?). They are interesting, first of all, for their made-up. The photographer's motto is "Away from realism", that is, running away from everyday life and everyday life. They already surround us in life, let's use art to get away from realism.
Patrizio di Renzo's photographs for the Majo Fruithof jewelry catalog take us into a world where beautiful marble-faced statues live. However, do they live? Perhaps this is also the master's escape from reality. The strict composition and static nature of the photographs are contrasted with the Brownian movement of everyday life.
The well-made, unreality of the world created by the master is emphasized by the fact that there is no living space left on the models, so to speak: the body is hidden under clothes and unnaturally light makeup, nails - under dark manicure, face - under complex makeup, hair - under intricate headdresses. All evidence that these stylish photographs were created on our planet by ordinary people of flesh and blood has been destroyed. Welcome to the wonderful world of pure conventions!

Marble not like marble. Unusual sculptures-illusions by Fabio Viale
The once fashionable decor "under a tree", "under a stone", "under a marble" is no longer interesting. But to "disguise" real marble as foam, rubber, fabric, paper or wood, so that people have an irresistible desire to touch this or that work, in order to make sure with their own hands what they are made of - this is already a talent that you can't hide anywhere. And it would be a sin not to share these masterpieces with the audience. So, the Italian sculptor F
