JEANLOUP SIEFF | PHOTOGRAPHY


Thank you to the lovely English Muse for bringing this photo to my attention—an intense and sudden encounter with a slightly shadowy but captivating fellow. This photograph was taken by art and fashion photographer, Jeanloup Sieff in Palm Beach for Harper's Bazaar in 1964. Sieff's work was influenced by the French "new wave" filmmakers of the 1950s. He died in Paris on September 20, 2000 at the age of 66. His daughter, Sonia is also a known fashion photographer.

This photograph was used on this Eddie Higgins Trio album cover. Listen to You Must Believe in Spring... it's beautiful.
