Editorial Reviews

Review

"The iconic landmarks for which Paris is known the world over rarely feature in the photography of Nichole Robertson - which is precisely what makes her imagery so compelling, irresistible and refreshingly different." - Nicola Williams, Art of the Weekend

"She seeks out culture high and low, bits of nature thriving in the city and moments of human interaction. Neutral grays and browns are featured prominently in her work; bouncing against each other, like shades, they feel lively. Robertson's color-seeking approach is surprising, given the uniformly neutral shade that prevails in so much of Paris." - CNN Travel

From the Author

I'm consistently drawn to the way color contrasts Paris' neutral facades, the way layers of paint erode into a form of abstract art, and to the details that are often overshadowed by iconic landmarks. The photos offer candid glimpses of the thoughtful craftsmanship, pedestrian pleasures and gracefully worn textures that cumulatively capture the unmistakable charm of Paris. - Nichole Robertson

Paris through rose- (blue-, yellow-, violet-...) colored glasses!

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

Nichole Robertson's lovely book, Paris in Color, is pure eye-candy: gorgeous photos of the most ordinary things that seem extraordinarily beautiful in part because they are in Paris, the most beautiful of cities. Ms. Robertson is an expat who moved to Paris with her family three years ago. She describes how, strolling through Paris, the color of a particular chair, door, or vehicle would catch her eye and she would become fixated on that color for the rest of the day. She began taking a series of photos highlighting each vivid or subtle hue. For even more of Nichole Robertson's beautiful photos, visit her blog, Little Brown Pen, and follow her on Pinterest.

Paris in Color is an inspiration. I have taken countless photos in Paris, mostly the same photos that everyone takes - the requisite cathedrals, Tour Eiffel, Pyramids du Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. I have deviated from the tourist attractions to photograph flowers and produce in the neighborhood markets, Haussmannian apartments, and Mansard roofs, pastries in bakery windows, and glasses of red.But why limit the project to Paris? Why not look see everyday through rose- (or yellow- or blue-...) colored glasses?

Picture Perfect Paris

I've been a longtime fan of Nichole's work, via her beautiful blog. I pre-ordered 3 copies of this book here on Amazon and the excited anticipation of its publication didn't disappoint once I'd received and reviewed the finished work. In a word: wow! The book is wonderful and has already provided hours of happy daydreaming, as I've returned to flip through it again slowly, savoring each image, frequently.

If you are considering this book because you love Paris or want to buy something that features fantastic images of the City of Light for someone else, don't hesitate. Buy this book! You/they'll love it!

Anyone who appreciates Paris and its special aesthetic should have a copy of Paris in Color for their library. It's a unique view of the city and will help you to see and love it, anew.

Gorgeously Photographed

This is a beautiful book. My wife and I last visited Paris 7 years ago. While we visited & enjoyed all of the typical tourist stops, it was our meandering detours through Paris' residential neighborhoods that made our trip so special. We tripped over cafe's, crepe stands, street fairs, parks and many hidden yet wonderful architectural designs. It was also on this trip we discovered my wife was pregnant with our 1st child! Of course while that made our trip extra special - that was our last European vacation alone. So I bought Paris In Color on Amazon (after spying it in an Anthropologie store) as an anniversary gift to my wife. These subtly gorgeous pictures (cleverly divided up by color segments) brought our Paris adventure back to life along with all of the wonderful emotions that we associated with that trip. It made for a very special gift and has inspired us to revisit Paris next year! Bien joué

Bliss in the Colors of Paris

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2012

Paris is such a beautiful, and big city, you really do need to take your time exploring it. And slowly, like a turtle.

According to Nichole Robertson, the author of 'Paris in Color', walking with a pet turtle sets a slow pace in which to enjoy this beautiful city, and it was a fashionable thing to do in the 1800's.

Armchair travellers will love this photo book for it captures those slices of Paris that most people would just pass by or take for granted.

Unlike other travel books, Nichole has created one of "the Paris you see when you step out of the shadows of monuments." And this is what makes 'Paris in Color' unique.

Even more intriguing is the back story behind the book.

Nichole and her husband decided on a whim to move to Paris from New York. After moving to Paris, she says "everything was a challenge in the best possible way."

Being out of her comfort zone was good for her, it turned out. She was able to slow down from the fast-paced New York creative scene, and carried her camera everywhere with her. Snapping photos "of everything that caught my eye."

Ms. Robertson created a beautiful photo-blog titled 'Little Brown Pen', which features the most remarkable photographs of every-day Paris. The café's, scooters, signage, menu boards and snapshots of people, doing everyday things.

San Francisco publisher, Chronicle Books, discovered her blog and asked if she'd like to create a book around one of her themes - the colors of Paris.

Lucky for us, Nichole and her husband didn't over-think their impulsive decision to relocate to Paris. If not for a decision made over a few glasses of wine, 'Paris in Color' wouldn't exist. She says, "I guess good things happen when you follow your bliss."

Great Little Glimpses of Paris

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2012

I stumbled upon Nichole's blog just a few months ago the way it often happens, searching for something specific (images of window boxes) that leads you somewhere else. I really enjoy the photos she posts and I was happy to discover she had a book coming out. Of course I pre-ordered it right away. This is a really great visual book because it captures so many things that you take note of while on a trip to Europe. Unfortunately, they are soon forgotten because you don't always photograph them yourself. Colors, textures, typography...all the little details. I was looking for a book to keep me inspired while I work on designing and launching a line of products to be made in Italy, and it really helps to give me a quick little dose of Europe.

A Fabulous View of Paris!

I have been a fan of Nichole's for a few years now. I have 4 of the collage photos in the Paris Color series sitting on my wall in my office. On stressful days, I am able to take a mini vacation thanks to Nichole's gorgeous photos!

I have the Kindle version of the book for traveling and the regular version for my home. The book is absolutely beautiful and shows Paris' everyday life, which is exactly what I love to see when I am traveling to new places. She has inspired me to see the beauty in everyday ordinary things. Thanks Nichole!

I love this book! It has so many great photos of Paris. The one thing that surprises me is there is not one photo of the Eiffel Tower...not even in the brown or black section! The book is all photos....nothing to read!
