20多年来，瑞典摄影师JH·恩斯特勒姆（JH Engstr?m）生于1969年，一直生活和工作于巴黎。巴黎这座城市和纽约一样，有着悠久的摄影传统。无数摄影师从其标志性建筑和繁忙街道中获得灵感。然而，本书不能算是巴黎经典场景的摄影图录，而是对艺术家在巴黎的街道、酒吧和艺术家公寓中的不幸经历、爱情和随机遭遇原始而抒情的描写，即一个完全个人视角下的巴黎。

相较于亨利·卡蒂埃-布列松（Henri Cartier-Bresson），恩斯特勒姆更多地从南·戈尔丁（Nan Goldin）和安德斯·彼得斯（Anders Peters）那里获得灵感，他把我们带进了所居住城市的生活中，展开了一次狡猾的、无拘无束的导览。这本书汇集了250多张彩色和黑白照片，包括自画像、裸体、恋人、朋友、陌生人的肖像和少量街景，这些照片都是在1991至2012年间拍摄的，追溯了艺术家自我表达和视角的关键发展时期。

For over twenty years, Swedish photographer JH Engstr?m has lived and worked in Paris, a city that, like New York, has a long photographic pedigree; countless photographers have been inspired by its iconic architecture and busy streets. Sketch of Paris, however, is hardly a catalog of classic Parisian scenes, offering instead a raw yet lyrical portrayal of the artist’s misadventures, loves, and random encounters in its streets, bars, and artist lofts—an entirely personal Paris. Drawing more from Nan Goldin and Anders Petersen than Eugène Atget or Henri Cartier-Bresson, Engstr?m brings us on a gritty, no-holds-barred guided tour of life in his adopted city. The photographs provide a type of homage to Paris, a city that has greatly influenced and inspired Engstr?m—as a photographer and as a person. The book brings together 250 color and black-and-white photographs—self-portraits, nudes, portraits of lovers, friends, strangers, and the occasional street scene—all shot between 1991 and 2012, tracing a critical time during the development of the artist’s own voice and vision.
