Woman | Gemma Ward | Mario Sorrenti | Vogue Italia September 2005

This 2005 Vogue Italia editorial of Gemma Ward, lensed by Mario Sorrenti, is a classic beauty that expressed a core Mario Sorrenti vision of woman as a sensual goddess. The erotic tension between sensuality and religion breathes throughout Mario Sorrenti’s images, and he always handles the subject masterfully.

These Gemma Ward images anchor the conflict in a mood of old masters paintings, reminding us that this conflict is historic since the advent of monotheism. Mario renders the sensual conflict in its true beauty, and always on behalf of women.

As a side note, we don’t follow models nearly as much as photographers. Unaware of all the Gemma Ward problems with success and then weight gain, we found an unusually calm, cogent article about models and fashion world clients Gemma Ward, A Supermodel Betrayed by the New York Post, of all people.
