In more ways than one might care to think about, photography was the medium of the 1990s. These photographs were shot during 1990 and 1992 in Paris, the south of France, England, and Canada. Despite their sepia-toned nostalgia and soft focus, this was state-of-the-art photography at the time. Using a 35mm camera Cole roamed physically and stylistically, creating a turn-of-the-century mood that was more than reinforced by the subject matter: views of Paris, elegant pools, picnics… It’s all very pictorial, reminiscent of a more leisurely and romantic past, a remembered paradise that was more imagined than real.
