Françoise Kirkland by Douglas Kirkland

This photograph shows Douglas Kirkland with his wife, Françoise Kirkland, in Paris. Kirkland was an American photographer whose career spanned more than six decades, beginning in the late 1950s. He worked across portraiture, film stills, and editorial photography, contributing to many magazines and documenting both everyday life and professional assignments. Françoise Kirkland collaborated closely with him later in life, particularly in organizing, editing, and contextualizing his archive.

This image is included in the monograph Romance, a project developed from their relationship and shared creative work, authored and edited by Françoise Kirkland.
