What makes Paris so special for photographers? And what impact do iconic photographs have on our perceptions of The City of Light?

In an hour-long talk at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney-based photographer Tony Maniaty will be exploring 12 iconic images - by Robert Doisneau, Henri-Cartier Bresson and others - that have shaped our view of Paris, via the streets and cafes, society and high fashion, the cultural scene.

A fascinating journey through the lens of master photographers, capturing a dozen classic moments that have shaped and sustained the dream of Paris as the city of beauty and love.
