    This Series Of Interestingly Decorative Storefronts Reveal The Story Of Paris

    Tourists in Paris would normally flock to the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre to learn more about the city. But the beauty of Paris goes beyond its majestic monuments and mind-blowing museums. So, German Photographer Sebastian Erras takes the road less traveled to discover more about the city of light and love. He shies away from mainstream tourist attractions and snaps photos of local establishments and their storefronts instead.

    Erras has collaborated with Pixartprinting for this project, entitled Paris Re-Tale. The project aims to capture and showcase “the city’s spirit through its shop signs.” Indeed, the vibrant walls, intricate tilework, hand-painted signages, and elegant display windows all reveal a different tale of the city. It’s nice to see how local artisans have played an important role in constructing the Parisian society.

    The project features various establishments—art supplies stores, bakeries, barbershops, clothing boutiques, music shops, restaurants—together with their respective owners. At the same time, it celebrates the pride of each shop, from the architecture, product offerings, down to their colorful backstories. By featuring both the owner and the shop in one frame, Erras effectively portrays them as a single unit.

    In addition to Paris Re-Tale, there’s also another project that highlights the beautiful storefronts in the city of Lisbon. Aside from colorful storefronts, Erras also delights in capturing images of unique and colorful floor tile patterns in Paris. Check out his Instagram page for his collection of Parisian floor images.
