About this item
Paris at night. Already we're expecting something special. And that's exactly what Gary Zuercher gives us in this gorgeous collection of photographs. Over a period of five years, he took his cameras out into the Parisian night to capture stunningly evocative images of the bridges that span the Seine. Using his artistic eye and sophisticated photographic technique, he created these glorious black-and-white photographs, rich with detail and possessing a clear, luminous, quality. This collection is unique, and remarkable. No one else has ever photographed all the bridges that cross the Seine in Paris in this way. We don t see crowds of people, or heavy traffic. Nothing obscures the beauty and strength of the structures, the romance and symbolism of the bridges.
About the Author
In 2008 he began his five year project of shooting the thirty-five bridges that cross the Seine in Paris; at night, on film, and in black and white. Having finished the shooting he then spent a year researching the history of those bridges and writing about it. The final product is his book, The Glow of Paris: The Bridges of Paris at Night.
