Portraits of
Parisian Cafes
Patrick Atlas creates portraits of places revealed by light.
At dawn, at twilight or in the last light of day, he photographs the moments when a facade, a street or a landscape ceases to be ordinary and reveals its own character.
With the Parisian Cafés Collection, he captures iconic Parisian establishments at dawn, in the calm of the morning, when the warmth of the signs and illuminated interiors meets the cooler blue of the nascent day. More than just views of cafés, these images compose a gallery of familiar places made unique by the light.
Offered as limited edition art prints, printed on Fine Art paper and framed according to museum conservation standards, these photographs offer establishments a distinctive and lasting representation of their own Parisian history.
Patrick Atlas
Patrick Atlas develops photographies of places based on light, composition, and attention to urban atmospheres. Patrick photographs places like portraits.
At dawn, at twilight or in the last light of the day, he seeks out the moments when a facade, a street or a landscape ceases to be ordinary and reveals its own character.
His work favours places inhabited by their history, their architecture and their visual presence.
With the Parisian Cafés collection, he continues this approach by photographing iconic Parisian establishments at the precise moment when the city has not yet resumed its normal activity.
