Maurizio Galimberti: The Mosaic Maker

Johnny Depp

Celebrities have been photographed pretty much every which way: paparazzi-style, covering magazines, private mobile phone snaps. So it’s nice when someone captures them in a way that actually makes you look twice.

This is what Italian-born Maurizio Galimberti,born in 1956 and full-time photographer since early 1990, does with his grid-like representation of faces, using the good old Polaroid.

The series is called “Celebrity Works” and features a few of my favorites: Johnny Depp, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sting, Benicio Del Toro, and Lady Gaga, George Clooney, Robert De Niro, and Javier Bardem.

George Clooney

Having collaborated with Polaroid Italia his first year into the business, and becoming their official spokesperson a few years later, the man often referred to as “The Mosaic Maker” has had his work featured on the cover of The Times (England), campaigns of top brands like Jaeger Lecoultre, Nokia, and Illy caffè, and was the official portraitist of the Venice Film Festival.

Water Babies for Mulberry

For their Spring/Summer 2013 campaign, Mulberry once again chose renowned British photographer Tim Walker for a series of dreamy images, featuring model Meghan Collison ...

“This season I wanted to focus on the girl as part of the landscape, rather than a character within it,” said Walker. “Thus the pictures of Meghan Collison become more like portraits. She was…able to hold your gaze, but almost otherworldly, she inhabits a dreamscape.” (via WWD)

Set designer Shona Heath crafted a pastel landcape featuring Magical underwater and Mysterious lunar imagery; including gigantic pastel-coloured coral, soft-hued moon rocks and bubbles.

Mulberry Creative director Emma Hill said of Meghan: “I love her beauty – classic but with a sexy impishness which is super-Mulberry! She has so much character and brings an edginess to the prettiness of the colours and perfectly works the cuts and shapes of the featured styles.” (via Mulberry Blog)

Styled by Jane How, Meghan shows off the classic styles of the season including The Cecily, Cecily Flower Tote and Bayswater bags. 

Meghan's hair and Make-up were done by Sam McKnight and Val Garland respectively.

Totally Love this campaign! It just makes me want to be a 'Mulberry Mermaid'! ♥
