Jean-François Jonvelle - Mistress - 1992

Released in 1992, "Mistress" is a stunning monograph that showcases Jonvelle’s unique ability to capture women in moments of private, unposed beauty. Known for his philosophy that "the woman must not know she is being photographed," Jonvelle created images that feel like quiet, shared secrets.
This Japanese edition is highly regarded for its superior printing quality, which perfectly preserves the soft lighting and grain of his original film work.
