Join Tony Maniaty and explore 12 iconic photographs that have shaped our image of Paris, the City of Light.

From Jacques Henri Lartigue’s fleeting glimpses of French high society to Henri Cartier-Bresson’s everyday ‘decisive moments’, this talk explores how each of these 12 influential photographs highlights a key element of Parisian life, the eras in which they were taken, and the contributions of the great photographers behind each work.

Tony Maniaty is a Paris- and Sydney-based author, photojournalist and former associate professor of creative practice at the University of Technology Sydney. He is a widely published photographer, including his 2020 photobook Our hearts are still open: Paris with love and hope.

Maniaty will be leading an International Study Tour Light visions: art photography in Paris from 6 to 13 April 2025.
