Renowned photographer and editor Miguel Flores-Vianna presents a visual diary
of his travels through fourteen countries on five continents.
MIGUEL FLORES-VIANNA, ONE OF THE MOST sought after contemporary interiors and lifestyle photographers, now turns his painterly eye to the world at large in this vivid per-sonal tribute to the places he loves best. Roving across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, and using only his smartphone, he captures the eternal beauty of civilisation and the natural world, from its grandest heights to its humblest form. His photographs are not intended as documentary; rather they create a heightened sense of their subject matter, transforming the banal into beautiful, the ordinary into extraordinary, and the splen-did into sublime. Architecture, interior vignettes, still life, patinas, patterns and spontaneous moments in time — these and more are transfigured in front of Flores-Vianna’s lens.

MIGUEL FLORES-VIANNA
Miguel Flores-Vianna’s perception of the world was shaped by his child-hood in Argentina. Growing up with a sense of isolation in the south-ernmost reaches of the Americas, he yearned for travel. Books helped him discover distant destinations, and he nurtured romantic visions of the lands he longed to visit. In the years since then, he has documented his peripatetic life photographically, with the aim of recording places as he feels they should be rather than as they are. In this soulful volume, Flores-Viana shares his favorite images in the hope that the viewer will come to see the world through his eyes.
