Gallery label	Gallery 100, 2016-17: Mario Sorrenti (born 1971) Untitled 1996 In the 1990s, Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti experimented with creating colour images he described as ‘dark, painterly and rich’. In this timeless study, the model turns away from the camera and appears lost in her thoughts. The careful lighting creates a range of blue tones across her skin. C-type print Given by the artist Museum no. E.410-1997 From V&A display post-2000: "I think that the style in which you take a photograph has to speak the same language as what you photograph. It's got to clarify the meaning, it's got to help the emotion or feeling of the subject. In colour photography, you have a whole spectrum of emotions - coded with colour- and there's so much to work with" Mario Sorrenti, Photographer, 2000(post 2000)
