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.
