Nov 10, 1997" SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 800 - 1600 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 800 Sante D'Orazio is an American photographer. In 1993, he photographed actor Jaye Davidson for a striking feature in Interview magazine; the shoot took place following Davidson’s sudden global fame and his Oscar nomination for the hit film The Crying Game. D'Orazio’s body of work belongs to the realm of international fashion, nude, and celebrity photography of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Key contemporary reference points in this context include Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, and Robert Mapplethorpe. Like these photographers, D’Orazio combined a highly stylized presentation of the human body with fashion, portraiture, and a deliberately intimate visual language. His work for magazines such as Interview and Vogue, along with portraits of figures like Pamela Anderson, Axl Rose, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss, Prince, Ornella Muti, Mike Tyson, and Cindy Crawford, established him as a defining chronicler of international pop and fashion culture. Particularly characteristic is his blend of glamorous fashion photography, expressive nude photography, and a spontaneous—at times deliberately raw—perspective on his famous subjects.
