Renowned Fashion Photographer And Fine Artist To Celebrate Career At London Gallery

A renowned fashion photographer and fine artist will be making an appearance at a London gallery next week to unveil a book celebrating his 25 year career.

Raphael Mazzucco will be releasing The Never-Ending Summer at Castle Fine Art on South Molton Street between 6pm and 8pm on Tuesday 17th April.

The artist’s first ever collector’s edition book features behind the scenes photography and exclusive memoirs from his closest family, as well as anecdotes from models and muses he has worked with including Pamela Anderson and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Every copy of the book is presented in a unique box made from antique pine over a century old and has been hand embellished with mixed media, before being sealed with Mazzucco’s signature high gloss resin finish.

The individual boxes comprise one of 10 photographs captured and signed by the artist, making them unique collectables.

One of the world’s most influential and talented fashion photographers, Mazzucco is recognised for his singular eye and captivating aesthetic. He has created iconic imagery for the likes of Victoria’s Secret, Ralph Lauren, Guess Jeans and L’Oréal.

The artist’s work has appeared in L’Official, French & Italian Vogue, L’Uomo Vogue, Marie Claire, Playboy and Vanity Fair, featuring not only his editorial fashion photography but celebrity portraiture of notable actors, including Benicio Del Toro, Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon and Elizabeth Banks.

Mazzucco’s arrival onto the art scene was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Damien Hirst purchasing one of his collections for over $750,000. Following the success of his debut collection, Mazzucco has gone on to enjoy exhibitions in esteemed galleries all over the world.

Raphael Mazzucco said: “The process of working alongside the team at Castle Fine Art on this project has been awesome. It’s prompted me to recollect some of my very happiest times, a lot of career-defining moments and quite a few memories even I wouldn’t believe to be true if they hadn’t happened to me!

“It’s also been an exercise in bringing together so many people that I love and respect. For that reason alone, this book is very special and dear to my heart.”

Jonny Stokes, gallery manager for Castle Fine Art, South Molton Street, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming Raphael to the gallery to celebrate his fascinating career as an accomplished fashion photographer and artist.

“London has one of the world’s biggest art scenes and is a fashion capital, so it makes complete sense for Raphael to unveil his first ever collector’s book at our gallery.’’
