Description

Inamorata is a series of images focusing on the details of a beautiful woman as photographed by John Wagner. We kept the interior simple to let Wagner’s sensual images speak for themselves. We emphasized this sensuality by using a cover stock that felt like flesh and flooded the interior of the French folds with a bold, passionate red.
