Fashion Eye Greece by French photographer François Halard presents a highly atmospheric and personal vision of Greece through the lens of one of contemporary photography's great observers of architecture, interiors and art.
Rather than documenting Greece as a conventional travel destination, Halard focuses on ancient sculpture, weathered architecture, mineral structures, landscapes and intimate interiors. The photographs are particularly drawn to the island of Symi, with the book's rich blue tones and Mediterranean light creating a dreamlike sense of place.
Halard's background in fashion photography is evident in the way he frames objects, surfaces and spaces, but his real fascination is with the character and history embedded within them. The result is a sophisticated photographic portrait of Greece that sits somewhere between travel photography, architectural photography and visual anthropology.
Published by Louis Vuitton as part of its Fashion Eye series, the book combines large-format photography with biographical information and an interview with the photographer. It is a particularly beautiful example of the series and an appealing addition to a collection of photography, art and design books.
