Jean-Louis Dumas always carries two things: a small red notebook and an old Leica. He has taken photographs all his life--mostly black-and-white--cataloguing significant moments and trivial asides on his extensive travels with work, family and friends. Dumas works in that finest of photographic traditions, the sophisticated nonprofessional. However, as the Creative Director of Hermes for 30 years, his professional milieu and his friendships with masters of the medium like Edouard Boubat have instilled in his photography an elegant and discreet sensibility. This collection brings together a life's work and reflects a longtime love affair with photography.
