This series of photographic works of 16 sequences illustrates the story of the city of lights. Setting his stage through the emblematic monuments that have graciously withstood the ravages of past centuries, and those who come into sight of late, photographer Michel EISENLOHR captured the musical of the lights and the shadows, the glitter and the mystery. To Michel, it was a racing with time to snap the moment from dawn to midnight, within just a few minutes, which vividly transforms one’s perception of volumes and contents of a certain place. Under Michel’s lens, these 16 cinematic portraits of France not only capture the city’s romantic fineries, rich history and culture, but also transcribe its intimate and monumental poetry in these stolen moments. ​
