The first monograph dedicated to Pablo Arroyo's new professional project beyond fashion photography

After years devoted to fashion photography for the most prestigious international brands, Pablo Arroyo presents a new and significant chapter in his professional career, which consciously goes beyond the boundaries of fashion photography. It is a choice that breaks with the past and, at the same time, marks a return to the origins: a renewed closeness to "pure" photography, stripped of all artifice and superstructure. In this new phase, the artist's gaze becomes more intimate and rigorous, focusing on the essence of the subjects and the intrinsic power of the image. His photographs are characterised by an essential, direct visual language, free of embellishment, in which objects and nudes emerge forcefully from the background, isolated and laid bare in their formal and expressive uniqueness.

Creative, art director, and photographer, Pablo Arroyo (Mexico City, 1975) is a leading figure in the contemporary landscape of photography and creative direction. After an initial experience as a graphic designer at Vogue Italia, Arroyo began a full-time career as a photographer in 1998, collaborating with numerous Italian and international magazines and producing catalogues and campaigns for major fashion houses, including Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Trussardi, and Valentino. In 2009, he launched his first independent magazine/project in Paris; in parallel, he held prominent editorial roles as Creative Director and Editor in Chief of L'Officiel Hommes Italia (2011-2015) and L'Officiel Hommes Paris (2015-2019).

This monograph documents Arroyo's new professional path beyond fashion photography, in search of a pure and essential form of photography.

About the Author

Creative, art director, and photographer, Pablo Arroyo (Mexico City, 1975) is a leading figure in the contemporary landscape of photography and creative direction. His education is rooted in studies of art history, screen printing, and engraving in Mexico, and was later consolidated in Italy, where he moved in the early 1990s to pursue graphic design, photography, and art history at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. After an initial experience as a graphic designer at Vogue Italia, Arroyo began a full-time career as a photographer in 1998, collaborating with numerous Italian and international magazines and producing catalogues and campaigns for major fashion houses, including Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Trussardi, and Valentino. In 2009, he launched his first independent magazine/project in Paris, marking the beginning of a path increasingly focused on creative direction and the development of brand visual identities. In parallel, he held prominent editorial roles as Creative Director and Editor in Chief of L'Officiel Hommes Italia (2011-2015) and L'Officiel Hommes Paris (2015-2019). With Skira Pablo Arroyo recently published Panorama of Contemporary Italian Fashion Photography (2024).
