Amateur photographer Pierre-Louis Ferrer wanted to capture the dreamier side of Paris. But how do you offer a fresh take on a city that's been photographed from every angle... twice? For Ferrer, the secret was infrared.
When photographer Michael Wolf had to move to Paris in 2008 because of a job opportunity for his wife, he wasn't too thrilled with the situation. He thought that living in one of the most photographed cities of all time, surrounded by the inevitable cliches of such a place, wasn't conducive to creative, unique photography. So he sat down at his computer and began browsing through the then only 6-month old Google Street View, which ultimately led to a unique photographical project that fit right in with his long-time fascination with "peeping" into people's lives through photography.
