Lise Sarfati’s “She”: Portraits of Four Women

For this week’s issue, Lise Sarfati photographed the concert pianist Hélène Grimaud for D. T. Max’s Profile; earlier this year, Sarfati photographed the feminist writer Élisabeth Badinter for Jane Kramer’s Profile. “Even through Élisabeth did not like to have her photograph taken, she opened her world to me. Hélène was different: a sort of star in the sky. Right away she was more distant and enigmatic.”

Above, a selection from her forthcoming book, to be published by Twin Palms this fall. Click through to see more of Sarfati’s work: http://nyr.kr/ukU6Ob
