Vintage silver print on double-weight matte paper, in very good condition. Photographer's copyright stamp and his handwritten notations in ink, annotated "Coll. Zannier" in pencil on the reverse.

Secchiaroli is presumed to be the first "Paparazzo", as Fellini modelled the so-called character of a press photographer in his film "La dolce vita" (1960) on him. In 1964 Secchiaroli became the exclusive photographer of actress Sophia Loren, documenting her life by commission. The image shows American fashion photographer Richard Avedon working with a Rolleiflex. His sitter Loren is seen slightly out of focus, from Secchiaroli's perspective, looking over Avedon's shoulder. Loren's face is also distortedly reflected in Avedon's glasses. The sharply focused, perfectly framed portrait of her, that is just inscribing itself on Avedon's film, is left to our imagination.

早期明胶银盐照片，双重重量哑光纸，非常好的状态。摄影师的版权印章和他用墨水手写的注释，背面用铅笔标注“Coll. Zannier”。据推测，塞奇亚罗利是第一个“狗仔队”，因为费里尼在他的电影《甜蜜的生活》(1960) 中塑造的所谓新闻摄影师角色是以他为原型的。1964年，塞奇亚罗利成为女演员索菲娅·罗兰的专属摄影师，受委托记录她的生活。图像显示了美国时尚摄影师理查德·阿维顿使用Rolleiflex相机工作。从塞奇亚罗利的视角来看，他的模特罗兰稍微有些失焦，正从阿维顿的肩膀上看过来。罗兰的脸也在阿维顿的眼镜中扭曲地反映出来。她那张清晰对焦、完美构图的肖像，正好在阿维顿的胶片上刻画出来，留给我们的想象。
