Elisabetta Catalano, Italy

Photobucket

*Elisabetta Catalano began as a fashion photographer for Vogue during the sixties. Then came the participation at Fellini’s Film "eight and a half" that opened the doors of the world Cinema.

Since then she has been “the official” celebrity photogapher in Italy: from F. Fellini to Stefania Sandrelli, from Pasolini to Gino De Dominicis; also photographing artists such as Gilbert and George and Joseph Beuys.

In the'70s and '90s her studio became a reference for all those who wanted to break in the world of cinema and Television; including many show girls “attircette” women who for a moment have touched fame and then have fallen into oblivion. To show these picture invites a rethink about the ephemeral nature of fame and celebrity.
