If you’re a fan of the dreamy snaps of Paris-based Louis Dazy, you might be interested in grabbing a copy of his first photo book.
Paris-based Louis Dazy, a long time favorite of the film photography community for his dreamy and nostalgic imagery, has self-published his first photo book. If you’ve long been waiting to get a collection of his work in print, now is your chance to show your support and grab a copy though Kickstarter.
On the Kickstarter page, Dazy shared that the book, titled Dreams in Technicolor, is comprised of photos he took from “4 years of wandering around the globe, Melbourne, Paris, Vancouver, shooting life, friends and strangers as I go.” As such, it brings to readers the memories and words that will allow them to learn about the feelings, insights, places, and moods from his travels.
We can say that this dreamy volume is one of the highlights of his emotive and nostalgic photography. A big part of this style is the use of double exposure, along with moody colors of dusk, sunsets, and neon nights.
“A cinematic image of nostalgia is a double exposure, or a superimposition of two imagesâof home and abroad, of past and present, of dream and everyday life. The moment we try to force it into a single image, it breaks the frame or burns the surface. It is a sentiment of loss and displacement, but it is also a romance with oneâs own fantasy. The imperative of a contemporary nostalgic is to be homesick and sick of homeâoccasionally at the same time. This is what Dreams in Technicolor is about, this is what I want to share with you.”
