Jeanloup Sieff was the complete photographer, gifted in every arena of the medium - from fashion and advertising to reportage, portraiture and landscape photography.
While he worked for all of the great fashion magazines of his day, including Elle, Vogue, Esquire, Glamour and Harper's Bazaar, and was even responsible for an infamous Yves Saint Laurent perfume advertisement that showed the designer in the nude, he also reported on the death of Pope Pius XII and a Belgian miner's strike; sought out huge, uninhabited panoramas in Scotland and Death Valley; made portraits of dancers with the Paris Opera Ballet and won a host of awards, including France's Grand Prix National de la Photographie.
