Vali Myers as Ann in Love on the Left Bank, 1954 by Ed van der Elsken
Book follows the fictional story of Ann, a bohemian living in Paris, and is one of the first photobooks to record the birth of rebellious youth culture in Europe.
from guardian
In the field, outside the controlled confines of the studio, a photographer is confronted with a complex web of visual juxtapositions that realign themselves with each step the photographer takes. Take one step and something hidden comes into view; take another and an object in the front now presses up against one in the distance. Take one step and the discription of deep space is clarified; take another and it is obscured.
