Japanese photographer Tomio Seike's photo book ``Paris (Signed)''. After graduating from a photography school in Japan, he worked as an assistant to Tadahiko Hayashi before moving to England. Yearning for real photos and real prints that he saw in galleries, he decided to compete in an overseas arena. Rather than creating works with unique Japanese motifs, I decided to create works that would allow me to compete on the same level with top-notch overseas photographers, using the same subjects. After returning to Japan, he frequently traveled to England while working on editorial work, but his attention was drawn to a foreign woman, Zoe Leonard, whom he happened to meet at a Japanese modeling agency, and over the course of five years he decided to use her as his subject. This work was published as a photo book called ``Zoe''. This book is made up of illustrations of "Paris" taken over the next three years from 1990. Paris is a fascinating city that captivated many famous photographers, including Brassai and Henri Cartier-Bresson. A number of tranquil and poetic illustrations express the banks of the Seine River, rain-soaked cobblestones, standing trees, etc. through outstanding depictions of light and shadow. Signed by the photographer .
