Colorful Paris Storefronts And Their Owners Reveal The True Story Of The City
Instead of looking for the historical landmarks around the city, photographer Sebastian Erras has turned to the incredible variety of the Parisian storefronts to tell the tale of one of the most iconic cities in the world.
Collaborating with Pixartprinting Erras has made his idea into a project called Paris Re-tale , in which he documented the colorful storefronts and their proud owners who aren’t lacking in color themselves.
It’s not the first time Sebastian found a unique perspective to tell his story. Before Paris Re-tale , he was documenting the incredible variety of floor tiles in Paris and Barcelona .
For the full list and the locations of the shops, head over to Pixartprinting .
