Subject: Gary Zuercher’s award-winning coffee-table book, The Glow of Paris: The
Bridges of Paris At Night, bridges us – culturally, architecturally, and
historically – to perhaps the world’s artistically richest city. Over a period of
five years, he took his camera out into the Parisian night to capture stunningly
evocative images of the bridges that span the Seine. Using his trained eye and
sophisticated photographic technique, he created these glorious black-and-white
photographs, rich with detail and possessing a clear, luminous quality. Not
content with just creating these beautiful images, he undertook painstaking
research into the history of the bridges, the results of which deepen our
understanding of their significance.
