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,
By David C Kirkpatrick (Seattle, Wa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parisians: Photographs by Peter Turnley ; Forewords by Edouard Boubat and Robert Doisneau ; Text by Adam Gopnik and Peter Turnley (Hardcover)
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 View of Paris,
By
This review is from: Parisians: Photographs by Peter Turnley ; Forewords by Edouard Boubat and Robert Doisneau ; Text by Adam Gopnik and Peter Turnley (Hardcover)
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.
