After several years photographing New York City—socializing with Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, Berenice Abbott and Minor White—American photographer Todd Webb moved to Paris in the late '40s and made his first negatives with an 8×10 camera. He quickly found himself having the time of his life—mingling with other artists such as Gordon Parks, Man Ray and Brassaï. In his journal, Webb often worried about money and whether he could make it in Paris, but he persevered.

‘Paris: A Love Story 1948-1952’ includes never-before-published excerpts from Webb's journal and showcases 70 black and white photographs that Webb shot from 1949 to 1952 as he, in part inspired by the work of Eugène Atget, took to the streets to make a personal, beautiful and lasting record of postwar Paris.

Todd Webb (1905–2000) was an American photographer known for his rich, documentary-style images that captured life around the world. His life had many chapters, including the years in New York and Paris, but also his 1955 journey across America as a Guggenheim Fellow; his UN-sponsored, five-month-long trip to Africa in 1958 (where he shot color); and his move, in 1961, to Santa Fe, where he made beloved portraits of his friend Georgia O’Keeffe. Webb’s photography is celebrated in major museums, and his legacy endures as a storyteller with a camera.
