Regardez-moi / Look at Me

Discover the hundred most iconic portraits by Jérôme Schlomoff

"The portrait invites itself to an appointment. One must therefore aim between too soon and too late. The risk, to miss this point of equilibrium and its power of commencement and progression."
— Didier Arnaudet

Photographer Jérôme Schlomoff (b. 1961) has been capturing the souls of artists and numerous creative figures through his lens since 1984. He presents his portraits against a white background, tightly framed, with no props, showcasing a magnificent interplay of light and shadow. Regardez-moi / Look at Me is a raw, face-to-face exchange – an inviting gaze.

This new book brings together his hundred most iconic photographs, including portraits of Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gilbert & Georges, Keith Haring, Panamarenko, Bill Viola, John Cale, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Juliette Gréco, Michael Stipe, and Peter Greenaway. Each portrait is accompanied by a poetic narrative by Didier Arnaudet, in an intuitive layout by Irma Boom and Frederik Pesch.
