Choose Love

About the Book

A photobook by photographer Arthur Samier, who spent three years photographing the nights of Paris.
Underground punk parties, Paris Fashion Week, formal social gatherings. Across these different nights, he captures strangers who appear and vanish as they pass one another, and moments that seem suspended in midair.
His is a generation that is always connected, yet drifting further from physical touch. Even so, the bonds between people are still there, changing shape as they go. This book looks closely at love in all its forms.
It is not a manifesto that loudly declares anything. It is more like a time capsule, quietly holding the nights of one particular era.
