Jan Welters

A limited edition of Jan Welters' sexy yet stark images from nearly 30 years in fashion photography

Published in an edition of 30 signed and numbered copies, this collector's edition of Profile, by California-based Dutch photographer Jan Welters (born 1963), includes the book along with a signed and numbered archival pigment print by Welters, titled Isabella Cosima Jahns, Paris, 2018. The photograph is from an editorial story for Italian Marie Claire called "The Performer." Welters reports: "the editor Ivana Spernicelli saw Cosima in the Gucci show in Arles and we agreed to book her after seeing her Instagram feed. She'd done these little videos of herself in her apartment in Rome that we thought were very compelling. She would bend herself over a chair or curl up on the bathroom floor, there was a strange kind of sexiness to them. She had never done any fashion work but turned out to be the perfect girl for our story."
