This is Ren\u00e9e Jacobs\u2019 fourth nudes monograph and carries on her tradition of fearless feminist photography of women across the sexual spectrum. POLAROIDS (January 2022, editions GALERIE VEVAIS) presents an elegant and loving reflection of unapologetically sensual women, fully present and authentic. This is perhaps the most erotic collection of Jacobs\u2019 work to date.<\/p>\n
Ren\u00e9e Jacobs: POLARIODS<\/a> Gregory Forstner writes in his essay for POLAROIDS<\/em>, ‘The fetishist object that Ren\u00e9e Jacobs American photographer Jock Sturges wrote about Ren\u00e9e Jacobs: \u201c… Ren\u00e9e\u2019s pictures have a combination of intensity and honesty that I don\u2019t often encounter. These images aren\u2019t a symptom of her thinking; they\u2019re a symptom of her life. None of these models represent fleeting acquaintances. She knows them \u2014 and well. She\u2019s making the pictures because she wants to keep them fixed in her head and heart for all time. Her models trust her to tell the truth about them. And she does. …”<\/p>\n Ren\u00e9e Jacobs<\/a> is one of the most celebrated photographers of the female nude of our time.
