This is a collection of works by German photographer Angelica Vogel. Vogel is known for her keen capture of women's inner lives and physicality, using delicate light and composition to bring out her subjects' emotions and presence. Working across a wide range of subjects, from commercial fashion shoots to artistic portraits, her work is often poetic yet provocative. This book is based on her 1995 photobook published by Nippon Geijutsu Publishing, and features primarily monochrome female portraits. The subjects, depicted in soft shadows, convey the emotional fluctuations hidden in their gazes and gestures in simple, unadorned compositions. Throughout the pages, the sense of closeness between the subject and the photographer is so intense that the viewer can almost sense their breathing and the temperature of their skin. These serene yet powerful images are the culmination of Vogel's sensibility and technique, marking a pinnacle of 1990s photography.
