Description: One of the most famous and popular photographers of his time, Jeanloup Sieff photographed some of the most beautiful women and men of his era. This wide-ranging collection of his work captures some of his most famous photographs spanning a career of nearly forty years. These nudes and fashion shots portray more than beautiful bodies draped, or not, with beautiful clothes; Sieff's personal interest in whatever lay before his camera, and his continually evolving style, render these photographs pieces of art. Whether his assignment was for 'Glamour', 'Vogue', or 'Harpers Bazaar'; whether his subject was Yves Montand, Rudolf Nureyev, Twiggy, or Catherine Deneuve, Sieff was never afraid to take chances with location, equipment, lighting, or convention. Rounding out this exciting monograph are texts from his favourite models, such as Deneuve and Charlotte Rampling, as well as essays by Frank Horvarth and 'Purple Magazine's' editor Olivier Zahm.
