Sarah Moon has been a fashion and commercial photographer for more than three decades. Her first pictures, published in the early 1970s, were sensuous and romantic, imbued with the cool, watery softness of late-afternoon light. At a time when the feminist movement was on the rise and Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin were seen to be pushing fashion photography into the realms of pornography, Moon's pictures transformed the image of feminity. She says of her work, "I allowed women to be themselves, without playing the game of performing". Her work has appeared in "Vogue", " Harper's Bazaar" and "Nova". Many of her photographs are created around intensely personal scenarios which she refines into taut compositions, recalling stills from silent movies.
