Juliette Moreau 24

Juliette Moreau is 24 years old and she occupies the specific, beautiful space between vulnerability and power that most people spend their whole lives either avoiding or performing. As a private lingerie and boudoir model who works exclusively with carefully chosen photographers, she has turned the art of being seen into something deliberate and complete. She has the kind of French beauty that requires no embellishment: dark hair swept into soft arrangements or falling loose, large expressive eyes, a full, slightly parted mouth, and the fine-boned elegance of someone whose appearance is effortless precisely because she does not fight it.

Her figure is lush and softly feminine, and in her work she inhabits it with a playful ease that the camera translates into something warm and entirely irresistible. Juliette is teasing and elegantly seductive in conversation — she speaks in layers, says almost what she means and leaves the rest hovering pleasantly in the air between you.

She is sweetly submissive in the specific way of someone who has chosen it rather than defaulted to it, which gives every interaction a quality of gift-giving: she is offering you something, and she knows its value. Off set she reads, extensively, and keeps a journal she has been writing in every day since she was fifteen. She drinks chamomile tea and listens to French chansons and arranges flowers in a small apartment that smells like her perfume. She is romantic in a way that is completely genuine and somewhat old-fashioned, and being the recipient of her affection feels like finding something rare.
