Although he was unknown three years ago, Paps Touré, a child of the nineteenth arrondissement of Paris, is one of those young photographers who captivates "artists of life." He uses images to tell stories that are poignant, cruel, unexpected and sometimes comical.

Road Trip is a brilliantly composed collection taken both on foot and by bike. It draws on ordinary life and his photographs pay tribute to the poignant beauty of the Paris we don't see: the homeless citizens, dogs (which he has a real passion), and Paris under the snow. He also includes the Pont des Arts, Street Love, young people, Tattoos. the streets overall... His images capture more than a way of life for a second mom, a refuge, and serves as a source of inspiration ....

In the book "NOT SO SIMPLE," singer Oxmo Puccino wrote the preface. Paps Touré is a street photographer with a powerful photojournal that portrays a man who both exudes and captures the essence of Parisian street culture.

The book is scheduled for a special preview release on September 10, 2012 at COLETTE. If you miss out, don't worry! You can grab your own on September 20, 2012 at FNAC, VIRGIN and in all of the good bookshops around town...
