Sarah Moon, b. 1940), British-born fashion photographer and film-maker, resident in Paris. After studying art she worked as a model, then, from 1967, a photographer. Her carefully staged images are mysterious, nostalgic, and surreal, sepia toned or in colours muted and diffused by grain. Some evoke fairy tales: for example, a one-eyed, dandyish old tom-cat-in-clothes being cosseted by two demure young women. Her 1972 Pirelli Calendar pictures suggested an ultra-exclusive 1930s brothel. She has made films about Cartier-Bresson (1994), and early cinematography (Lumière & Company; 1995).
