Jeanloup Sieff - Women

For more than thirty years, the most beautiful women have been captured by Jeanloup Sieff's lens. His photographs—whether portraits, nudes, or fashion series—reveal an impertinent, sensual woman, infinitely aware of her power of seduction. Seventy of his finest photographs, enriched with his commentary, are thus gathered in this book: they bear witness to the remarkable work of a master of light who has never ceased to explore all the fields offered by black and white. A feast for the eyes.
