Paris Photo Week 2022 Continued

Here are some more photography from Paris Photo Week 2022. I hope you enjoy these as well as I did. From Saul Leiter rainy street scenes to Hollywood icons there is something for everyone here. I liked Ron Galella's Windblown Jackie who walks through the streets of New York City as nonchalant as she can. Then there is Bruce Webber's Kate Moss photograph, wearing only athleisure she is easily recognizable. Then there is the less glamorous pic of a woman in India with a rat around her neck eating a popsicle. Irving Penn's Woman in Moroccan Palace just makes me want to travel to Marrakech. Ruven Afandor's Say, Colobmbia shows a Native Colombian in traditional wear. With an owl on his head and painted features he jumps out at you and makes you want to explore the country further.

A look back at Paris Photo Week 2022

Paris Photo Week brings together some of the best photographers in the world under one roof. It's a celebration of photography at its best. Take, for example, fashion photographer Bruce Webber's photograph of singer Tina Turner. Webber captures a rare intimacy of the singer while she's relaxing with a plate of fresh figs. She's at her leisure and we are in awe of the invitation to share a private moment with her. Edouard Boubat's Kyoto shows us the peacefulness of a Zen garden in Japan. It's harmony and nature as one. Louise Dahl Wolfe's photo of fashion designer Christian Dior playing cards at his home shows him at his domestic bliss. Far removed from the glamour of Paris and fashion in general we see him at his best self. Marina Abramovic's Portrait of a Lamb shows her cradling a lamb like one would an infant. The contrast of black and white makes us question the nature of her actions. Why is she doing this and why? Meanwhile, Seydou Keita's portrait of young boy wearing a beret captures the atmosphere of Mali where French culture still remains. Its youthful spirit reflecting the coming changes in country. Once you view these works you'll see why they were selected for Paris Photo Week. They are some of the best works money can buy. Please enjoy the remainder.
