He also pioneered "The screen tests" for the New York Times, a collection of interviews featuring today's most influential people.
“To me, the main and most exciting thing about photography is to meet people,” Carrozzini says of his process. “The picture is the result of what happened between me and them on the set.”
Probably the most notable screen tests carried out by an artist are those of Andy Warhol. Made at ‘the factory’ from 1964-66. Although now seen as screen tests, they were originally made as a short film portraits, done rather on film than on canvas.
