BIOGRAPHY
Dafy Hagai is a photographer based between London and Paris.
Her work operates at the threshold between the body and the object - sculptural, formally rigorous, and rooted in the languages of both art and popular culture.
Her books are held in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has collaborated with leading brands and publications across fashion, beauty, and culture
