Paname Paper is a Parisian street photography print newspaper — shot entirely on film.
Photography books are tons of fun to explore. I reviewed a few of them here (analog.cafe/books-zines) and even made a couple. But a newspaper feels new.
My high school and early college days involved daily subway travel, where there was no reception. Lots of people, including me, read local papers on the train. I miss the feeling of thin, crispy pages.
I’ve seen and read a few thin magazines about photography, but I don’t think I’ve held a newspaper that featured a topic I care about a lot — film photography — so prominently on every page.
Grégoire Huret’s new project is just that:
Paname Paper, produced and entirely photographed by Grégoire Huret, explores a theme deeply rooted in Parisian identity: “Modes de Vie”. The name Paname Paper—combining Paname, the slang term for Paris, and Paper, symbolizing the journal—perfectly reflects the spirit of this visual project. It captures urban life in all its diversity, in a style that navigates between street photography and documentary photography.”
The first issue is 10€, 36 pages, and 260 x 370 mm. It’s printed in France on 60 g/m² newsprint sustainable paper and solvent-free ink. It’s available on Grégoire’s website:
