Це історія у фотографіях про вимір життя, який відрізняється від усіх інших. Хоча й робилися спроби створити філософію дизайну інтер'єру, рідко хто намагався відкрити душу меблів та предметів. Саме це Паоло Роверсі спробував зробити своєю камерою на цих сторінках, присвячених Poliform, італійській компанії, яка успішно перетворила давні італійські ремісничі традиції на сучасні меблі. Використовуючи те, що завжди було його сировиною – час, світло, простір – Роверсі веде нас у фотографічну подорож до середини всесвіту Poliform, допомагаючи нам пережити історію компанії та зафіксувати таємничу, безпомилкову душу, яка змушує вібрувати поверхні та об'єми її предметів.

The metropolis of Paris, presented with Serge Ramelli’s dramatic vision

Paris is the City of Light, love, and savoir vivre. And this world-class capital is surely one of the planet’s most photographed destinations, whether by tourists snapping a quick souvenir shot or professionals with high-end cameras. The brief preview we provide here shows how special this city really is. Paris has never been showcased as impressively, meaningfully, or dramatically as it is by the French photographer Serge Ramelli. His vision of the city — like all of his images — is unmistakably inspired by cinema. In addition to his second passion, filmmaking (which he does when he’s not taking pictures), he is also fascinated by the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Ridley Scott. Ramelli’s interpretation of the bustling metropolis of Paris is at once impressive and fabulous. Pulsing with life both day and night, the city appears nearly devoid of people — a heavily symbolic place with many facets to explore, shining with an inimitable light.

About the Author:

The French photographer Serge Ramelli specializes in urban and landscape photography. He is represented by YellowKorner, the leading publisher of art photography, with more than 78 galleries worldwide.

This comprehensive volume examines Tinseltowns fascination with the City of Light, from silent movies through to modern blockbusters.

Romantic, elegant, and enticing, Paris has fascinated American filmmakers for over a century. As habile in accommodating a romantic comedy or mystery as it is in hosting an action-packed thriller, it is by far the foreign city that appears most frequently in Hollywood movies.

In Paris by Hollywood, essays by eminent film experts and commentators uncover Hollywoods role in the cultivation of now timeless Parisian clichés, examining seminal films such as An American in Paris, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Sabrina. Chapters on Audrey Hepburns Parisian persona; Disneys and Woody Allens personifications of Paris; Hollywoods depictions of the French Revolution; and the American fascination with the enigmatic, glamorous Parisienne explore a cultural relationship that owes as much to the allure of Paris itself as to Hollywoods desire to paint a picture of European exoticism.

Interviews with eminent filmmakers and actors including Martin Scorsese, Julie Delpy, and Leslie Caron bring us behind the scenes and provide intimate insiders perspective. Insightful analysis explores the reasons why Hollywood has invested and continues to invest so much in depicting the French capital; an often mutually-beneficial economic and cultural relationship.

Covering over 100 years of movie-making, from silent films to the animated world of Disney, via Cancan films and action-packed blockbusters, Paris by Hollywood is the perfect companion for lovers of American cinema and those captivated by the magic of the French capital.

At once cosmopolitan metropolis and venue for a pensive stroll, Moloch and emblem of the modern, 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 Nicéphore 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.

In the footsteps of George Brassaï and with a beautiful model on her side, French photographer Véronique Vial leads us through Paris at night. The contrast between nocturnal shadows and imperial illuminations, between the architecture in stone and the flesh of the body creates a mesmerizing play of voyeurism and exhibitionism, with Paris as the fitting, magical stage.

In den Fußstapfen von George Brassaï und mit einem schönen, nackten Model an der Seite führt uns die französische Photographin Véronique Vial in Paris Naked durch eine Pariser Sommernacht. Ihre Sammlung betörender Bilder hat zwei Sujets: die schöne, erotische Visionen, Träume und Empfindungen provozierende Frau und die Stadt Paris bei Nacht, wo dunkle Schatten und prunkvolle Beleuchtung aufeinander treffen. Der Kontrast zwischen der Architektur in Stein und dem weiblichen Körper aus Fleisch und Blut erzeugt ein faszinierendes Spiel zwischen Voyeurismus und Exhibitionismus. Die magische Stadt Paris ist die perfekte Bühne für die erotischen Phantasien im Auge des Betrachters auf einem langen nächtlichen Spaziergang zwischen Montmartre und Montparnasse. Véronique Vial lebt seit 1989 in Paris. Bekannt für ihre beiden Photobuch-Bestseller Women before 10 a.m. und Men before 10 a.m., ist Vial als Celebrity-, Reise-, Modeund Musikphotographin tätig und arbeitet regelmäßig mit dem kanadischen Cirque du Soleil.

This pictorial tribute to one of the world's most beautiful and romantic cities offers a unique introduction to the "City of Light". Award-winning photographer Horst Hamann used a panoramic camera to painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dame's gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center-even the Eiffel Tower. His efforts have produced an astonishing array of images, stark black and white compositions that lend these photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique, vertical reinterpretations of some of Europe's most recognizable cityscapes.

L'air de Paris. The vivid history of the capital of love and photography

A city built on two millennia of history, Paris is entering the third century of its love story with photography. It was on the banks of the Seine that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth to this new art that has flourished ever since, developing a distinctive language and becoming a vital tool of knowledge.

Paris, Portrait of a City leads us through what Goethe described as a “universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street”. The history of Paris is recounted in photographs ranging from Daguerre’s early incunabula to the most recent images – an almost complete record of over a century and a half of transformations and a vast panorama spanning more than 600 pages and 500 photographs. This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Images captured by the most illustrious photographers – Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more – but also by many unknown photographers, attempt to bottle just a little of that “Parisian air”, something of that particular poetry given out by the stones and inhabitants of a constantly changing city that has inspired untold numbers of writers and artists over the ages.

Presenting an exciting patchwork of images from past and present, Paris, Portrait of a City is a huge and unique photographic study that, in a way, is the true family album of all Parisians. It is to them, and to all lovers of this capital city, that this vibrant, loving and tender testimony is dedicated.

- Huge and unique photographic study of Paris featuring over 150 celebrated photographers, including Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more
- More than 500 images of the history of Paris, sourced from dozens of archives and private collections
- Also included: an index of photographers’ biographies

Paris, Je t'aime. A photographic tribute to the capital of romance

The perfect celebration of the beauty, romance, and poetry of Paris, city of Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel, of Impressionism and Surrealism, of Left Bank cool and Right Bank elegance. This photographic portrait features some 300 city pictures alongside an extensive appendix of some 100 books, movies, and records inspired by the city of lights. Featured photographers include Atget, Doisneau, Kertész, and Cartier-Breton.

Described by Goethe as the “universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past,” Paris is as rich in its two millennia of history as it is in its beauty, its romance, and its art. It’s the city of Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel, of Edith Piaf and Jean-Paul Sartre, of Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, of Left Bank cool and the twinkling lights of the Tour Eiffel by night.

It was also on the banks of the Seine that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth to the new art of photography, and in this evocative tapestry of images, we celebrate the city’s remarkable photographic, as well as cultural, architectural, and civic history. Some 300 pictures bring together past and present, the monumental and the everyday faces and vistas, as well as the talents of such illustrious photographers as Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, and Cartier-Bresson.

With cover art by Robert Nippoldt, this collection is complemented by an extensive appendix of around 100 books, movies, and records inspired by the city of lights.
