Paris After Dark


After having long discussions about light and shadow, I decided to find some much needed inspiration. I first began by googling "Brassai" a famous Parisian photographer who has renowned photographs of the romantic city at night. His first book was entitled Paris After Dark; it was incredibly successful-even being nicknamed, "the eye of Paris." I am very drawn to his photos because at first glance they seem cute and simple but after analyzing you realize there is something deeper and mysterious about it. You just can't help but stare.
