"I am not a fashion photographer, I am not a photojournalist, I am not a portraitist. I try to make soft focus, grain, and texture work in a perverse, strange, sinister way, rather than a romantic one."
Deborah Turbeville
Deborah Turbeville's work (1932-2013) is unclassifiable. Her unique signature has been recognizable since her beginnings in the 1970s: a certain timelessness, a sense of melancholy and a patina emanate from her hauntingly beautiful photographs, created over four decades. Somewhat forgotten in France since her 1986 exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Deborah Turbeville's work has recently been brought back into the spotlight through solo exhibitions at Photo Elysée Lausanne, Huis Marseille Amsterdam and The Photographers' Gallery, London.
