Les Indiscrètes

From Book: Unpublished Photographs of Jeanloup Sieff

Jeanloup Sieff
Cafe de Flore, Paris, 1978
“Photographic representation is, alas, never faithful to the sentiment that triggered it, but imperfect as it is, it is a naive attempt to postpone death, to steal from time a fall of light, a priviliged moment, which will never again recur, but will continue to live thanks to the photograph - like those stars that have been dead for thousands of years but whose light still travels through space to show us what they were.” —Jeanloup Sieff.
