Sarah Moon
photographer · author
Sarah Moon (born Marielle Sarah Warin) is a French photographer, filmmaker, and model. Born in Vernon, France, she began her career as a model in the 1960s under the name Marielle Hadengue before transitioning into photography in the early 1970s. She gained initial recognition for her fashion photography, notably for campaigns with brands like Cacharel, where she was noted for capturing a unique sense of complicity and intimacy with her subjects. In later years, Moon shifted toward more personal, introspective artistic projects, often utilizing Polaroid techniques to create dreamlike, fictional atmospheres influenced by expressionist cinema and fairy tales. Her work is characterized by its use of blur, color as a pigment-like element, and themes of memory, solitude, and the ephemeral nature of time.[1,2,3,4]
