First published in 1933 and designed by Brassaï himself, the book Paris by Night reveals the secret corners of Paris: its alleys, metro stations and nocturnal inhabitants. Working as a journalist by day, Brassaï wandered the city at night, capturing the lives of those who remained in the shadows of society. His photographs are not only a technical study of darkness but also a poetic portrait of the mysterious atmosphere of the city at night.
