Paris (Photopocket) (Photopocket City) Book

Fans of Paris, as well as those who only dream of visiting that magical city, will delight in rediscovering its streets, buildings, bridges, cafes and gardens through the eyes of German photographer Heiko Lanio. Just a few glimpses of these gorgeous black and white images reveal an artist truly smitten by Paris?s charm, atmosphere, and vivacity. By concentrating on new perspectives of some of the city?s most familiar sights, Lanio draws attention to the marvelous clash of old and new in Paris: its architecture, its people, and its history. Straightforward and often elegantly minimal in composition, Lanio?s images let Paris speak for itself. Whether he?s showing us the baroque magnificence of an Eiffel Tower arch or the delicate curve of Pont Alexandre III; whether he takes us to a charming brasserie in Montparnasse, or underground to a Metro station in Montmartre; whether he?s capturing birds in flight over Île de la Cité or an old woman feeding pigeons at the foot of the Sacré Coeur, these wonderfully refreshing glimpses of Paris render the city more beautiful, varied, and delightful than our fondest memories, or our wildest dreams.Read More
