Jean-Claude Peretz was a French advertising photographer active during the 1960s and 1970s. He is notably recognized for his innovative approach to photography and book design, particularly in the realm of fashion and eroticism. Following an economic crisis in the 1970s that impacted the advertising industry, Peretz transitioned from commercial photography to becoming an antiques dealer, eventually specializing in folk art. His most famous work is the 'Erotoscope' (1970), a unique flip-book featuring layered photographs of models that allow for thousands of visual combinations.[1,2]
