Imbued with classical visual language and a pictorial sensibility, Roversi's images occupy an ethereal realm of diffused lighting and dreamlike shadow, and are simultaneously timeless and of this moment. He likens the act of opening the shutter to exposing one's heart, referring to the photographic process as "giving a picture" rather than "taking" one. Whether made with his trademark Deardorff 8 x 10 camera and Polaroid film or as carbon, chromogenic or pigment prints, Roversi's photographs reveal a deep and direct connection between his heart, his eye, and the camera lens. ![]()
