Obsession

Clarke, Bob Carlos

Language: french

Published by Quartet Books, 1981


Iconic black-and-white images, often retouched and hand-toned in the artist's darkroom. Often compared to Helmut Newton, Bob Carlos Clarke specialized in the aesthetics of desire, staging femme fatales, sometimes clad in vinyl or latex. This work marked the beginning of the photographer's public recognition, celebrated for the technical mastery of his prints and his provocative exploration of the erotics of the 1980s.
