For half a century, photographer Peter Turnley has sought comfort in Paris. Now, he is sharing his refuge with the world.
Turnley, who holds both American and French citizenship, is famous for capturing the human condition. His work often documents global conflict and struggle. But Paris has remained his personal sanctuary.
His new book, "PARIS Je t'aime," serves as a visual love letter. It collects his photographs of the city from across five decades. The images present an intimate portrait of Turnley's favorite place.
The book offers a unique perspective. It contrasts his often intense international work with the enduring peace he finds in Parisian streets.
