I love these photos from 1953 by Swiss photographer, René Groebli. Swiss photographer René Groebli photographs his newly-wed wife Rita through his ‘eye of love’ .It is about his love of this woman–his wife, Rita. It’s such a romantic and loving perspective.He documents their Paris honeymoon in this, his second book. The majority of the photographs were taken in a small, simple hotel room in Montparnasse, at 7 Rue Vandamme. The rooms have since been renovated and redecorated, so the location, as seen on Groebli’s photographs, no longer exists.
Light falls through a window, the room is dark. A bed, a mirror, the post-coital cigarette. A young woman seen through the eyes of her adoring young husband. The room is full of love and intimacy.
