Sarah Moon is an internationally renowned fashion and commercial photographer. Her first pictures, published in the early 1970s, were sensuous and romantic, imbued with the cool, watery softness of late-afternoon light, and soon won her an enthusiastic following. Her work has since appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Nova. In this lavish book, Moon’s book, readers are treated to a visual tour-de-force and invited to celebrate the fruits of a rich and diverse career. This first major retrospective contains a stunning cross section of the numerous genres she has explored during her 30 year involvement with photography, including 26 signature color images. "...On a rainy day, in the morning light, I look back at all these photos I have accumulated-- moments of awakening, split seconds, a slow motion rough cut from a film, which I have been living by proxy, more from outside than inside... Is it dreams that my photographs are about? Or even better, are they hallucinations?--Sarah Moon. Good plus. Band of sunning to the board top and side edges. Couple of tiny soil spots. Some light scratches and scuff marks. Corners softened. Very slight bow. Few dings to the edges. Spine is sunned. Minor soiling to the fore edges. Internally, gorgeous. Awesome. Beautiful clean images. Nice tight binding. Unmarked. Editorial Reviews From Library Journal Born in England in 1940 (as Marielle Hadengue), Moon made her name in haute couture fashion photography with luxurious and mysterious compositions. This gorgeous volume brings together that work with her other images in an exciting first retrospective. In the fashion work, her models are studious and disengaged, often turned away or intentionally blurred themselves transformed to a compositional element. Images of animals, portraits, still lifes, and wonderful landscapes both rural and urban fill out her oeuvre. In her black-and-white images, Moon (also a filmmaker) masterfully tends the edges of darkness where the merest hints of light create detail, texture, and form. Her tasty color work is highly saturated and grainy. Innovative, witty, and seductive, Moon's photographs draw the viewer into a dream world, at once soothing and vaguely troubled like the opening of a storm. Everything a great art book should be, this volume makes apparent Moon's original contribution to photography over the last 30 years. Highly recommended for large public and academic photographic departments, the book may be of special interest to clothing design/fashion collections.

Product Description A fashion and commercial photographer since 1968, and also a filmmaker, Sarah Moon is known for her dreamlike images and her representation of femininity as free from time and context, as living in a fairy world. Although Moon has been a major participant in the world of fashion for more than three decades, she has carefully carved out her own niche -- a signature style that dispenses with the erotically suggestive poses favored by many of her male counterparts in favor of the emblems of luxury and nostalgia. Mystery and sensuality are at the core of Moon's work, whether she's photographing haute couture, still life, or portraiture. In this book, Moon's first major retrospective, viewers will be treated to a visual tour-de-force, showing all the genres she has explored in her rich and diverse career.
