Sarah Moon, from her real name Marielle Sarah Warin, is a French photographer born in 1941. From 1960 to 1966, she worked as a model in London and Paris, but gradually her interest in photography grew and in 1970 she became a photographer. She became the first woman to photograph for the 1972 Pirelli calendar, working with fashion brands such as Cacharel, Chanel and Dior. Since 1985, she has devoted herself to gallery exhibitions and film-making, but her photos are still very popular.
In 1981, Delpire published a selection of some of her most emblematic commissioned photographs, in which beauty is placed at the service of a brand, an object or a product (Carita, Vogue, Cacharel, Biba, Pirelli...).
These photographs showcase Sarah Moon's unique style. Immediately recognisable, the latter is characterised by an impressionist, dreamlike atmosphere in which she blends her models, and which she creates above all through a particular material (grain, half-tone tones, use of blur) that gives her images a “turn-of-the-century” pictorialist aspect.
