This editorial has a very dull color palette, filled with blacks, grays, and tans, and although I normally like bright editorials that pop, these photos are so romantic and evocative I really love them. The photographer really took advantage of his surroundings, and captured them in a beautiful way. One almost wonders if the model is the woman or the city of Paris itself. I think smoke is a cheap trick in most photo shoots, and it is way overused to add a sense of darkness and mystery, but here the steam enveloping the model work and add fantasy to this classic shoot. The geometry in the fourth photo is brilliant; the photographer did as masterful job of choosing the angle in that shot. Wealth and affluence spill out of the first image, and the other two evoke a palpable sense of loneliness and sadness. This editorial is classic, and captures a past era in a truly exquisite way.
