Sarah Moon: Coincidences

by Sarah Moon, Robert Delpire

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.

High marks for the artistry. These images are not my style nor really my "cup of tea", but I cannot deny the skill involved in creating this work.

The book consists of what appears to be a completely random selection of 'artsy' photographs taken from a high school photography course.
