Renee Jacob's Paris

First edition, large format;  24 x 30 cm.
(Not the small paperback reprint from 2022)

With postcard.

Renée Jacobs´ PARIS is of course a book of nudes, but it is much more than that. It is a document of how a woman sees women in the City of Love. Renée Jacobs' photos are new in many dimensions. Hers is not a simple erotic picture book from Paris, not a new version of just another erotic book, not a new nude book, and not a new art project of the nude. This book is the very example of a photographer of the female nude who has a social vision, a vision of freedom, secrets, desires, fantasies, dreams and liberty. The important thing here is that the artist does not simply use models for her idea of PARIS. Her art―her entire purpose―is to make a collaborative project, a project for her models, as well―models she knows, not anonymous models from a database or an agency. Renée Jacobs’ fine art nude photography gives the viewer a luxurious peek into the ultra-sensual world of the feminine. Beyond sexy, her photographs are dreamy and secretive, daring and alluring. Her subjects give Renée their trust and the result is a collaborative journey which fulfills fantasies, reveals outrageous seductions and most importantly expresses the power of woman.

Renée Jacobs, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania practiced civil rights and constitutional law in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California until she began photographing again in 2006. Her first book, Slow Burn: A Photo document of Centralia, Pennsylvania, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1986 and favorably reviewed in The New York Times Review of Books. When Renée was 9 years old, someone asked her if she was from Paris. “Why yes!” she said. She, of course, is not. She is American. But perhaps the fact that her American parents gave her a French name, even with an accent, sparked her lifelong fascination with the City of Light. 

Photographing women in Paris over the last two years has been the perfect blending of Jacobs’ erotic message about the sexual power of women and an homage to the city where everything sensual seems possible. Jacobs is the recipient of the prestigious International Photography Award (Lucies) for Fine Art Nude Photography and her images have been published around the world in such publications as Taschen’s New Erotic Photography, Fine Art Photo Magazine, Silvershotz, Adore Noir, PH Magazine and most recently in her solo monograph WERKDRUCK published by GALERIE VEVAIS, edited and with an introduction by Jock Sturges. Professor John Wood wrote in his introduction to PARIS: “The quality I am perhaps most touched by in Jacobs’ art is its charm, a charm which has its own magic, its own narcotic allure … The joy sings through Jacobs’ lens.”

Fans of the work of Helmut Newton, Frank De Mulder and Marc Lagrange won't be disappointed!
