One of the great things about photography, I think, is the fact that it places you in the “right here, right now” setting, no matter how long ago that setting was. It’s all about the scenes we are familiar with, places that we love to revisit. In this case, the place is Paris, and the photography is from Georges Dambier (1925-2011). During its cultural elevation – right at the end of the second world war, Dambier, then 20 years old, captured the city of lights, and all of its vibrant nightlife, glamorous celebrities, and the typical elegant Parisiens. After exploring all of his muses, and inspirations, with a penchant for graphic design and aesthetics, and his liking for refined mise-en-scene, he was lead towards the inevitable – fashion photography.
