The Face of Love

The Face of Love is a significant posthumous publication featuring the work of legendary Dutch photographer Sanne Sannes (also known as Sex a Go Go). Published in 1972, this first edition collection includes approximately 200 black and white photographs that explore themes of eroticism, human emotion, and intimacy. The book captures Sannes's unique style, which utilized techniques such as blur, bokeh, and close-ups to realistically express the emotional nature of her subjects rather than relying on traditional posing. It features essays by Jim Hughes and Louwrien Wijers, providing context to Sannes's role as an archetypal visionary of sixties Amsterdam photography.
