My Paris The Paris of Ilya Ehrenburg knows no Louvre or Notre Dame and shows the Eiffel Tower crouching behind shabby facades and building timber. The Paris in which the Russian revolutionary lived from 1908 to 1940 was a place in which completely normal people with little money and hope struggled through life. Ehrenburg photographed them at their doors and in cafes, at work and at rest, in their poverty and dignity, and wrote brief texts that describe them. My Paris is an impressive work of photographic social reporting. It presents portraits of the elderly and children, workers and outcasts and stands in stark contrast to the glamorous Paris of so many idealized representations..

Robert Doisneau: Paris As a photographer, Robert Doisneau is renowned for his ability to infuse images of daily life with poetic nuance that imbued his photojournalism with an enduring popular appeal. Organized thematically, the book leads us on an entrancing tour through the gardens of Paris, along the Seine, and through the crowds of Parisians who define their beloved city. More than 600 photographs, many of which have never before been published, are assembled in this beautiful volume to create a unique portrait of Paris. The unprecedented scope of this collection provides the opportunity to study his more composed, aesthetically structured images alongside his snapshots, which showcase Doisneau's personal anecdotes of Parisian life. From toddlers scrambling to cross rue Rivoli to fresh-faced accordionists, from elegant dog-walkers to exuberant roller skaters, and from the indelible kiss in front of the Hotel de Ville to call girls striking a pose, the magic of Paris in black and white is a timeless treasure. The photographs, edited by Doisneau's daughters, are complemented by archived citations from the photographer himself, which reveal his profound.

Paris Mon Amour Paris has been a source of inspiration for countless artists and writers down the ages. But not least it is the home and constant muse of a relatively young art: photography. Since the earliest days of the daguerreotype right up to our time, renowned photographers such as Joseph Nicephore Niepce, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Jeanloup Sieff have lived and worked in the city of lights. Over the years a love affair developed between Paris and photography, giving rise to a remarkable record of the metropolis and a telling history of a new art form. This volume takes the reader on numerous walks, camera in hand, through the streets of Paris. Atmospheric black-and-white photos, shot by great photographers over two centuries, reveal the dramatic and the tranquil, the historic and the everyday, in the capital's parks and gardens, boulevards and backstreets, passages and arcades, bistros and nightclubs.
