Paris in Color

12/09/2016




"The iconic landmarks for which Paris is known the world over rarely feature in the photography of Nichole Robertson - which is precisely what makes her imagery so compelling, irresistible and refreshingly different." - Nicola Williams, Art of the Weekend  

"She seeks out culture high and low, bits of nature thriving in the city and moments of human interaction. Neutral grays and browns are featured prominently in her work; bouncing against each other, like shades, they feel lively. Robertson's color-seeking approach is surprising, given the uniformly neutral shade that prevails in so much of Paris." - CNN Travel 

"A feast of color-coordinated vignettes." -- LuckyMag.com

"This is a must-have in your design library as a color reference and for photographic inspiration." -- Design Muse

"From Nichole Robertson, cofounder of the blog and design studio Little Brown Pen, comes Paris in Color, a book that presents the City of Light in all its enchanting hues. Including more than 150 pages of vivid photographs, this volume showcases Parisian design and architecture, its iconic monuments as well as its moments of quiet, accidental splendor. Robertson's work offers readers a color-coordinated tour of her favorite city, lovingly lingering on such staggering details as its scarlet Metro entrances and Wallis-blue doors." -- Lonny magazine





From the Author
I'm consistently drawn to the way color contrasts Paris' neutral facades, the way layers of paint erode into a form of abstract art, and to the details that are often overshadowed by iconic landmarks. The photos offer candid glimpses of the thoughtful craftsmanship, pedestrian pleasures and gracefully worn textures that cumulatively capture the unmistakable charm of Paris. - Nichole Robertson
