BOOK

Evocative photographs capturing sweeping, cinematic fashion stories and intimate portraits of celebrities, all tinged with the photographer's gritty realism. Big closeups, grainy film, deep dark-lined eyes, creased foreheads and dusty landscapes seem sensual and erotic. From a very young, unknown Kate Moss to rock legend Keith Richards, “my important pictures happen when I get into a 'dance' with the subject, this is the part that is untamed, and for me the most interesting."

French Vogue ‘Intense and poetic photos take visual inspiration from 1940s Italian neo-realism, the French 1960s New Wave movement and films by John Cassavetes.

Vogue Spain ‘A series of images already iconic that speak of a lifetime dedicated to capturing what is hidden behind the character.’

Elle Italia ‘Her black and white visions do not stop at the surface and are closer to the French New Wave than to Hollywood, the intriguing style aims to extract glimpses of naturalness from the world of fashion and celebrities, the fragility hidden by the dazzling light.’

Musee ‘Showcasing a photographer who could see through the thin veneer of immortality promised by celebrity and instead, showed us character.’

L’Oeil de la Photographie ‘A very nice success of sensuality and eroticism.’

Wallpaper ‘Her aesthetic is thus one of ‘gritty realism’, with big close-ups, grainy film, deep dark-lined eyes, creased foreheads and dusty landscapes.’

SPS ‘Photographing is a drive and an act of aggression and curiosity all rolled up into one.’
