Paris 1953

"Paris" (1953) is a captivating black and white photograph by renowned French photographer Sabine Weiss (1924-2022). The image focuses on a street scene, but not in the conventional way. Instead of capturing the bustling city life, Weiss presents an abstract composition of shadows cast by trees and figures walking on the cobblestone street, emphasizing the play of light and shade in the urban environment. The composition highlights the intriguing interplay of light and shadow, creating an almost surreal atmosphere.
