Jeanloup Sieff - Derrières - 1994

A very rare opportunity to have this scarce book by the famous photographer Jeanloup Sieff!


Jeanloup Sieff’s photography book Derrières (“Hommage à quatre-vingt-treize ‘derrières’ choisis pour leurs qualités plastiques, intellectuelles ou morales”) is a captivating homage to the female form, focusing in particular on the aesthetic and symbolic qualities of the derrière. This collection features 93 black and white photographs, each carefully selected for its “plastic, intellectual or moral” qualities, as Sieff humorously and elegantly suggests. Known for his sensual yet refined style, Sieff captures the beauty of the human body through a lens that is both artistic and intimate. His use of light, shadow and contrast highlights the graceful curves and details, while maintaining a sense of refinement and playfulness. The work transcends mere eroticism, celebrating the body as an art form while also inviting reflection on the nature of beauty, perception and individuality. Sieff's photographic approach in this book reflects his unmistakable style, which evokes elegance, wit and a timeless attention to the female figure.
