PRINT & PROCESS HISTORY

Created by Juliette Jourdain, a contemporary French photographer known for her theatrical studio staging and fashion-influenced portraiture. This work is part of her 'The Wonders' series, which explores the geometric relationship between the human form and minimalist architectural space. YellowKorner, the publisher of this edition, was founded in 2006 with the mission of making primary-market photography accessible through larger limited editions across an international gallery network.
