LOOK AT ME: A FIRST GLIMPSE

Lorenzo Agius

This was a special preview of works by Lorenzo Agius, the preeminent portrait photographer of our time. This exclusive selection offered an intimate look at seventeen of Agius’ most compelling celebrity portraits, that served as a powerful prelude to the major retrospective to follow from mid-September at Spazju Kreattiv in Valletta.

This preview featured iconic images of globally renowned actors and musicians, drawn from Agius’s vast and acclaimed body of work dating from the mid-1990s. With a singular eye for emotion and atmosphere, Lorenzo captures not merely likeness but presence, distilling the intangible magnetism of his subjects into timeless visual statements. Each portrait is a moment suspended, rich with narrative, vulnerability, and charisma.
