Jean-François Jonvelle

Born in 1943, and later first assistant to Richard Avedon, Jean-Francois Jonvelle worked primarily with and around women, touching on voyeurism and feminism (subjectively of course). Presenting sexuality within the realms of respect and familiarity, his first willing models being his sister, mother and grandmother. Jonvelle shot nothing but natural light, beautiful women in intimate situations (of varying degrees) and maintained a level of distinction which cemented his name in photography well past his expiration date.
