Sarah Moon's achievements.

She used to be an eye-catching model in the spotlight. Now she is a world-famous fashion photographer. She takes fashion photos for top brands such as Issey Miyake and yohji yamamoto. She was elected as "2005 Martell Outstanding Artist" sponsored by Martell, a famous French cognac brand. She is a photographer with legendary experience-sarah moon. A few days ago, Sarah Moon came to China with her photo exhibition with the theme of "coincidence", which was successfully exhibited in the Shanghai Art Museum and received great response, and then she visited China again.

"Yes, I remember, my eyes really saw it, but it seems to have seen it. The sun was cold and the scenery was frozen-it was a Sunday, and I happened to pass by ... so there was this photo, I know. Coincidence? " At the photo exhibition in sarah moon, it is easy to see such a passage.

Sarah Moon's work impressed me the most was a photo he took in Maggie Cheung in 2005. In this black-and-white photo, Maggie Cheung looks innocent with his head tilted slightly and a cigarette in his mouth.

This peculiar style with strong personal color has been widely respected all over the world. In Paris, London, new york or Tokyo, which lead the world fashion, Sarah Moon's works are regarded as the coordinates of humanistic fashion because of their uniqueness. The "Coincidence" series of works that came to China this time are instantaneous records captured by Sarah Moon for many years, which depict some kind of echo felt by photographers in lens language, and thus have more artistic appreciation value.

Sarah Moon has shot short advertising films for Dim, L 'Oreal and other businesses, and won the Golden Lion Award in Cannes International Advertising Festival for three consecutive years from 1986 to 1989. She also made biographical documentaries for many photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sarah Moon's good friend and the most influential French photographer in the 20th century.

Sarah moon is quite famous in fashion photography, and her works have been published in magazines such as Elle and Bazaar. Nevertheless, she sighed: "I think it is the most difficult to take fashion photos now, because you will always encounter unexpected things when looking for materials in reality." But to take fashion photos, you have to stay in a familiar studio and show a row of high-end ready-to-wear clothes in front of the same group of models. Where did the inspiration come from? "

What makes Sarah Moon special is that she has changed people's consistent criteria for judging photographic works. Her work is not only a moment, an event, but also a connotation and a story. Her light and shadow language and artistic style of combining thinking and creation are considered as "painting and photography", art and soul language. We can often see "people's backs" in her works. "I am very interested in people's backs. There is a lot of information on the back. Sometimes a back can tell a story. " Sarah Moon said.
