Photograph by Fernand Fonssagrives, 1956. There are few photographers these days who should be described as definitive in their field: Fernand Fonssagrives, however, can undoubtedly be described as one of them. His most memorable work traces the unique partnership he had with his first wife, legendary model Lisa Fonssagrives (originally a dancer and the love of Fernand's youth, who then went on to marry Irving Penn). Lisa was in fact responsible for Fonssagrives picking up a camera – she gave him a Rollieflex, after his own dance career ended due to a diving injury; "It became," he said, "part of my body." #objet_d_emotion…#valerydemure#jewellery#fashionjewelry#finejewellery#contemporarydesign#jewelry#finejewelry#art#modernart#sculpture#luxury#objetdemotion#handmade#instagood#designerjewellery#fashionjewellery#fineart#jewellerycollector#jewelrycollector#preciousstone#diamonds#silver#abstractart#jewel#jewels#artisan#abstract#craftsmanship#gold
