Synopsis
From H. M. Elizabeth II Queen of England to Johnny Depp, from Silvana Mangano to Andy Warhol, from Vladimir Horowitz to Isabelle Adjani, French photographer and writer Francois-Marie Banier has captured 30 years of intimacies with exceptional personalities. Simultaneously, he has focused on passersby, and caught the emotions of these anonymous characters, forcing us to understand that heroism exists in everyone.

From the Publisher
This photograph collection is destined to take its place next to Richard Avedon's Evidence and Alexander Liberman's Then/Now. Banier, 49 years old, half Hungarian and half Parisian, shows in this book thirty years of an obsession: to immortalize the beauty of time while observing its work, to answer the question he has already asked in his own novels. In Past Present, we see the breathtaking results of his unspoken dialogues with well-known personalities and enigmatic passersby, his record of the moment when the public mask fell away and the real self was revealed.
From the Author
It's a wonderful gift when they finally accept to be themselves in front of the camera, when their eyes say, "Yes, I am like this." It is up to me to translate this into black and white.
An image is transformed by the various experiences which our eye and our memory impose on it every time we look at it. It is, for the imagination, both an end and a beginning. I write sometimes on my photographs to continue the dialogue. Photography: not to stop the world turning, as I once naively thought, but to find its center.
