À PROPOS DE RENÉE JACOBS

Après une carrière de photojournalisme de 1980 à 1987, suivie d’une seconde en tant qu’avocate de droits civils et de droit constitutionnel aux États Unis, Renée Jacobs revient à ses premières amours en pratiquant de nouveau la photographie à partir de 2004. À cette époque, ses premiers nus sont d’un style assez classique, mais l’artiste constate que le désir des femmes n’est pas représenté sur la scène artistique contemporaine et en fait son sujet de prédilection. Son œuvre se charge rapidement d’érotisme et lui permet de devenir l'une des photographes de nus féminins les plus reconnues de notre temps (elle remporte le prix IPA en 2008). De prestigieuses publications voient le jour : Werkdruck en 2012, Renee Jacobs’ PARIS en 2013, Rêves de femmes en 2014 et plus récemment Polaroïds en 2022 (récom pensé par le 1er Prix du International Photography Awards for Book / Fine Art). Renée Jacobs créé, toujours avec sensualité et poésie, des clichés intenses qui sont le fruit d’une vision person nelle de la femme tout en faisant appel à l’imagination du spec tateur pour comprendre l’histoire de chaque photographie.
ABOUT RENÉE JACOBS
After working in photojournalism from 1980 to 1987 - and a second career as a civil rights and constitutional litigator in the United States - Renée Jacobs returned to her first love of photo graphy in 2004. At that time, her first nudes were of a fairly classic style, but the artist quickly realized that the authentic desires of women were not represented in the contemporary art scene. Her work evolved to incorporate eroticism as a favo rite subject and she became one of the most recognized female nude photographers of our time. After winning the Interna tional Photography Award for Fine Art Nude in 2008, presti gious solo monographs of her work soon followed: Werkdruck in 2012, Renée Jacobs' PARIS in 2013, Rêves de Femmes in 2014 and most recently Polaroids in 2022 (awarded the 1st Prize in the International Photography Awards for Book/Fine Art). Renée Jacobs creates, always with sensuality and poetry, allu ring photographs which are the result of a personal vision while appealing to the viewer's imagination to understand the story of each photograph.

An aerial of a road which winds its way around the edge of beautiful Lake Bled, Slovenia. The image was captured in the midst of a deep winter freeze that gripped the entirety of Europe. I loved the shape and curve of the road and waited patiently for a car to pass on the end of the turn, and to my luck, it was bright red!

I waited four days for a clear day at the foot of Yulong Mountain. It was pretty when the local people danced at the red stage against the snow-peaked mountain.
