Fans of Paris, as well as those who only dream of visiting that magical city, will delight in rediscovering its streets, buildings, bridges, cafes and gardens through the eyes of German photographer Heiko Lanio. Just a few glimpses of these gorgeous black and white images reveal an artist truly smitten by Paris´s charm, atmosphere, and vivacity. By concentrating on new perspectives of some of the city´s most familiar sights, Lanio draws attention to the marvelous clash of old and new in Paris: its architecture, its people, and its history.

Straightforward and often elegantly minimal in composition, Lanio´s images let Paris speak for itself. Heiko Lanio was born outside of Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1964. One of the 1994 winners of Hamburg´s Minolta Art Project, he has worked as a master photographer since 1996.
