"Diamonds & Pearls" is a collection of works by Belgian photographer Marc Lagrange. Lagrange has garnered attention for his style of elevating nude and erotic images with classical lighting and composition. In this book, he explores timeless beauty through the luxurious and sensual motif of "diamonds and pearls." The book is a 208-page, heavy-duty hardcover published in English, German, French, and Dutch. The smoky light, rich shadows, and the film-like texture of his subjects' radiant skin create a tension between stillness and movement that becomes more pronounced with each turn of the page. Lagrange's photographs transcend the boundaries of fashion and portraiture, combining sculptural physiques with cinematic direction, simultaneously evoking in the viewer a sense of being seen and a sense of being present. While based on classical lighting, the book also incorporates a contemporary sensibility, transposing a seemingly excessive aesthetic into emotional expression without becoming overly so. This collection of works, which explores "luxury," "desire," "memory," and "time" through photographic expression, is a highly valuable collector's item as it sits at the crossroads of luxury, art, and nudity, and can be considered a masterpiece that provides a deeper understanding of his world of expression.
