Jean Larivière: Voyage

By Jean Larivière

A must for fans of travel photography and fashion, Voyage is a lavish, exhaustive record of the work of one of the most romantic and daring photographers of the last half-century.

Few photographers have better captured the allure of travel than Larivi re in a long and celebrated career. This is the first book on his work. Combining the skills and senses of a photojournalist and a landscape photographer, his panoramic images, set in exotic locations--and sometimes taken at great personal risk--are an extraordinary union of reportage, art, and commerce.

Larivi re's work for brands as diverse as Nina Ricci, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels have seen him stage some of the most epic advertising campaigns in the history of luxury. But it is his fifty-year relationship with Louis Vuitton that has produced some of his most persuasive images. Vuitton's longest creative partnership by far of any collaborator, from any discipline, Larivi re's is synonymous with the storytelling (and mythmaking) of the maison. 

Captured here for the first time is the complete L' me du Voyage, a series of commissions for Vuitton that began in the 1980s. From the Arctic circle to the Sahara, to the forests of Burma, the to the royal palaces of Rajasthan, the images evoke the pioneering work of an Ansel Adams or a David Lean, and the literature of Paul Bowles and V.S. Naipaul. Presented in a luxurious, landscape format, Voyage transports viewers to landscapes that are at once otherworldly and still very much of this earth.
