Photo book "Parijs! Foto's 1950-1954" by Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990). He has left many masterpieces such as "Love on the Left Bank", "Sweet Life", and "Jazz", and his creative style, which is full of love, humanity, and energy, and is rich in personal and poetic elements, will be admired by future photographers. Elsken has had a great influence. Also known as a Japanophile, he has visited many times since 1959 and has published many Japanese edition photo books, making him a very popular photographer even in Japan. This book is composed of illustrations taken when he lived in Paris from 1950 to 1954, and is Elsken's early work leading up to the first "Love on the Left Bank" published in 1956. This era is also the time of his newlywed life with Ata Kando, his ex-wife and photographer, who is said to have had a great influence on Elsken. It can be said that it is one book.
