Paolo Roversi (born 1947) is an Italian-born fashion photographer who currently lives and works in Paris.
Roversi's career began when he assisted fashion photographer Laurence Sackman. Roversi prefers to shoot photographs in the studio and uses large-format Polaroid film for most of his photos. His works are influenced by his knowledge of the history of photography and often resemble nineteenth-century photographs.
