About the Book
Over a period of five years Gary Zuercher took his cameras out into the Parisian night to capture stunningly evocative images of the bridges that span the Seine. Using his artistic eye and sophisticated photographic technique, he created these glorious black-and-white photographs, rich with detail and possessing a clear, luminous, quality. This collection is unique, and remarkable. No one else has ever photographed all the bridges that cross the Seine in Paris in this way. We don t see crowds of people, or heavy traffic. Nothing obscures the beauty and strength of the structures
Not content to present these photos by themselves, Zuercher spent another year of painstaking research in order to chronicle the intriguing history of all 35 of the bridges.
The result; a stunning coffee table size book that has won national and international awards.
