Product Description
Peter Turnley is the photographic descendant of such master French photographers as Brassai, Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Edouard Boubat. That Turnley's work has been inspired by these earlier influences comes as no surprise, for as a young photographer he worked as Doisneau's assistant and subsequently became a close friend of Boubat. Yet Turnley's work is uniquely his own, rooted in his twenty-five-year affair of the heart with the most beautiful city in the world. He invites us to share a Paris that outsiders rarely see.

The Beauty of Paris October 23, 2000
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
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 touching collection of black and white images September 9, 2001

Peter Turnley has captured the spirit of Paris and the souls of Parisians and presented it in one beautifully produced volume for the world to see at an affordable price. The images are stunning and the order of the images contributes to the quality of the book. I expect to return to these images often for years to come.
Cheaper than a Plane ticket September 10, 2001
After being in Paris for an entire summer, I've returned to the US with great heartache. Paris had a profound effect on me, so when I arrived in the states, I feverishly tried to gather all I could to remind me of Paris. On a whim I bought "Parisians." From the moment I opened it up, I was suddenly back in my beloved city. The photographs capture Paris in the way that takes me back everytime. Turnley's skill at capturing the essence of Parisians is striking, uncanny and charming. If you've been, you miss it, or want to know what Paris is "really" like, just open the cover of "Parisians." On the days I want nothing more than to transport back to Paris, all I have to do is open this book and I'm there.
Parisians: Photographs by Peter Turnley April 2, 2007
It is a beautiful collection of images of the life in Paris. Seeing the pictures make you yearn to go there to take your own pictures.
A View of Paris October 13, 2008
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.
