Gian Paolo Barbieri (or Giampaolo Barbieri) (born 1938) is an Italian fashion photographer.
Born on the Via Mazzini in Milan, Barbieri's family were fabric wholesalers, and his father owned a department store. He performed in amateur dramatics in the mid-1950s, forming "The Trio", a performance troupe with his friends. Barbieri also had a non-speaking role in Luchino Visconti's film Medea. He was influenced by cinema at an early age and photographed models in 1960s Rome, part of the social scene that was portrayed in Federico Fellini's 1960 film La Dolce Vita. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gian_Paolo_Barbieri
