Marc Lagrange - Diamonds and Pearls

October 10, 2013 - December 31, 2013

He is probably one of the most famous and original nude photographers in the world. Antwerp-based Marc Lagrange stages timeless, erotic photography. His models are protagonists of a luxurious, mystical and simultaneously sensual arrangement.

They slip into characters who translate Lagrange's cinematic visions. The photos combine classic glamor with the atmosphere of old master paintings. An important prerequisite for Lagrange is the chemistry between his models and him. On the basis of mutual trust and free from inhibitions, it is well known that the best recordings succeed in creating a harmonious result.

Even though everything seems to be bared in the pictures, the models exude an incredible charm, which makes them all the more attractive. Lagrange is a master of detail; his complex compositions, paired with technical affinity, underscore his perfectionism. Often he looks for the right interior to construct the set according to his ideas. Only then it's an exact implementation of his fantasies.

Known for his large-format Polaroids, the Belgian photographer loves structure, texture and a suggestive feel, which gets deeper expression through the penchant for size. In addition to a number of solo exhibitions worldwide, his work in the art and photography market is highly valued and represented in numerous collections. His highly successful books are on sale in over 80 countries.
