The Beauty of Paris
23 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
For those of you who have been to Paris, Peter Turnley's work will strike a deep sense of longing to return. His ability to capture some many facets of life throughout his book is delightful. I really enjoyed the mix of people, places, and situations he photographed such as a French woman in a barista or fans at a soccer game. His use of black and white photography added a sense of timelessness to the work. In summary, I think the book is an amazing piece of work that highlights the diversity and beauty of Paris.

A View of Paris
13 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
What a book, it has a special place in my collection of photographic book. After meeting Peter Turnley and spending ten days working under his guidance I have to agree with the comments of Robert Doisneau, and Edouard Boubat, Peter is a very special person. This book shows you the face and people of Paris. Street scenes that can only be caught by spending weeks, months and years walking the streets of Paris. And that special ingredient, an eye for the photo. As John Morris, the great photo editor of Life, the New York Times and others says "get the picture" and Peter has done it over and over. I recommend this book to any one who loves street photography or photography in general and especially those lovers of Paris.
Excellent
