So how did you find your way into photography?

I’ve started taking photos when I was 12 years old. I got a point-and-shoot camera for Christmas, and that’s it. There was no stopping since that time, but I started taking photos of models only 1,5 years ago.

Describe your work in three words.

Determined, purposeful, energetic.

Wishlist travel destinations?

New York City, Rio De Janeiro, Tokyo.

What’s high school like?

I attend a local high school in Dunaujvaros. I am specialized in maths and physics.

What do you plan on doing after?

After the final exam I will go on to higher education. I want to become an architect since I was 6 years old. But I wouldn’t stop fashion photography.

Can you tell me what interests you in architecture?

My favourite part of architecture is the abilty to make connection between nature and buildings. This is a current and inexhaustible topic.

Any role model photographers?

I really like Mario Sorrenti’s, Steven Meisel’s and Mert & Marcus’ works, but there are several photographers who I love.

What music do you listen to while shooting?

It totally depends on the concept of the shoot.

What camera are you using at the moment?

I am using a Nikon D300, but at the same time I don’t hate Canon users.

What kind of magazines do you read?

I read lots of fashion magazines, e.g. LOVE, the Room, V Magazine, Numéro, French Vogue and GQ.

Interview by: David Plenderleith

Sorrenti said about the theme:

In ‘swoon’, I put the bodies in direct contact with Nature, which harbors them as if they were its extension, in a set of images where rocks, land, tree trunks, sky and sea are all turned into a backdrop for the bodies.

Mario Sorrenti shot twelve beautiful actresses and models in the raw yet romantic terrain of Corsica. Even though Pirelli is an Italian brand, Mario Sorrenti was the first Italian photographer to have shot the Pirelli calendar.

Sorrenti about the shoot:

I always thought about taking clothes off as a way of getting closer to the individual and the person, and of getting something that was more honest and pure.

Some of the models were very pleased with the photographer and were doling out compliments.

Mila Jovovich said:

Mario Sorrenti and I have been friends since we were both pretty much teenagers and it’s the most amazing thing to work with old friends that make you feel comfortable. He’s pretty much the only person I would take my clothes off for!

Kate Moss adds:

He adores women – he really loves the female form and everything about it.
