Photo Trouvee Reviews

'images chosen for their atmosphere and sense of humanity as well as for their quality as pictures.'
Sunday Herald
'Reading this book is like walking past houses at night time and watching through the brightly lit windows of other peoples homes It is like a small anthropology of the ordinary The beauty of this publication is the fact that each picture has its own history, and stands almost as a chapter in itself. The proverbial one thousand words, perhaps.'
8 Ei8ht Photojournalism
'This book is a treasure trove that includes 285 pictures.'
Ready Made
'A unique collection.'
Photo District News
'The unatributed Cartier-Bresson-like amateur snapshots in Photo Trouvee (Phaidon), edited by Michael Frizot and Cedric de Veigy, are all the more inspiring to seasonal shutterbugs for their anonymous immediacy.'
Vogue Magazine
