Forthright, bold, and challenging, Bettina Rheims' photographs continually provoke strong reactions -- of bewilderment and disgust, of recognition and approval. Whether it's the suggestive postures of her defiant young nudes, the seductive edginess of her commercial work, or the fact that, at a relatively young age, she has managed to rise to the top of a field long dominated by male photographers, Bettina Rheims' pictures never fail to elicit a second glance. Arguably France's most famous photographer, Rheims was brought worldwide recognition with the publication of her series of nudes, Chambre Close (published by Kehayoff Verlag). This portfolio brings together Bettina Rheims' images of famous women, including Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Sharon Stone, among others of the world's best known and beautiful women.
