Vee Speers, Paris, France
A Paris Story is a humorous celebration of the French culture by an Australian photographer. Immersed in the Parisian life for the past 15 years, she has closely observed French eccentricity today.
Immediately one senses the photographer’s keen eye for detail and symbolism. The subject is posed, yet relaxed within the staged environment. A sense of trust is established between Vee and her subject, so much so that when appropriate, she is able to apply her sense of drama using her cinematic background – extending the visual beyond the obvious.
