paris

On several occasions and over a period of five years, the photographer travelled to Paris. He photographed in black and white the lives of ordinary people in different districts of the capital. Even as a child, he liked to accompany his grandfather, a bookseller, to observe passers-by and tourists paying attention to the wrapped books and the various engravings in the boxes. Today, his observation has changed, it is that of a photographer, attentive to the light, to the composition, but above all, working to immortalize this Parisian atmosphere that one cannot find anywhere else. He was born and lived in Paris for a few years, but beyond any sentimentality, he manages to capture, with a certain benevolence, images full of melancholy and serenity. In this series, his photographs form a memory book for those who no longer take the time to observe and contemplate the ordinary people who make up Parisian life.
