The way the camera captures colors, shapes, human expressions, the world around us both built and natural creating a frozen moment in time that can stir the deepest of emotions within us. When I recently came across the work of the German photographer Sebastian Erras I was reminded of exactly why photography is such a sensational form of art. So, of course, I reached out to Sebastian Erras to learn more and share his story and, specifically, his magnificent Re-Tale project!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>La Pharmacie, Paris<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_29046\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianerras.com\/paris_re-tale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29046\" class=\"wp-image-29046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Paris_Re-Tale_SebastianEr.png\" alt=\"A blue pharmacy store front in Paris photographed for the Re-Tale project by Sebastian Erras\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29046\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Christophe Duparay in front of his restaurant.\u00a0\u00a9Sebastian Erras\/ Pixartprinting.<br \/><em>&#8220;The blue colour of the facade is the one reserved for turn-of-the-century Parisian apothecaries. Inside, the beautiful wooden shelves and showcases still display old ceramic medicine pots. But mixed among them you can \ufb01nd bottles of wine, chalices, and teapots. All this gives a special atmosphere to La Pharmacie, the restaurant led by chef Christophe Duparay.\u00a0 Sometimes a good wine and a well- cooked dish are the best medicine for the soul, and both are on the menu at this restaurant in the R\u00e9publique neighbourhood. \u201cWe propose traditional recipes, with fresh season products we prepare in our open kitchen\u201d, Christophe says. \u201cAnd we offer wines of small producers\u201d.\u00a0 This is medicine one takes without crying.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSebastian Erras\u2019 love for photography began with a trip to Massai Mara in Kenya. \u201cIt was such a unique experience and opportunity to go to Kenya, that I wanted to keep some memories in form of photographs,\u201d said Sebastian when I asked about this trip. With an old analogue SLR and a few lenses, he began capturing the wildlife. \u201cThat\u2019s how it all started.&#8221;<br \/>\nUpon returning to Germany, Sebastian continued to explore wildlife and photography, taking a particular interest in birds and orchids. After studying business and marketing, Sebastian decided to make his passion his work and became a fulltime photographer. With a love for design and architecture, he specialized in interior and architectural photography.<br \/>\nTraveling the world and exploring new cultures and things is also a passion of Sebastian\u2019s, so it is only natural that much of his work combines his two loves \u2013 travel and design. Which brings me to his fabulous Re-Tale project!<br \/>\n<strong>Read on to hear all about it from Sebastian Erras and to see some of my favorites from the project\u2019s two destinations, Paris and Lisbon.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Love Happens: What inspired the Re-Tale project?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sebastian Erras:<\/strong> The project was a collaboration with the Italian printing company Pixart Printing. We wanted to create some interesting content for their customers. I had done a previous series on floors, where I photographed incredible mosaic and tile floors in 3 different cities in Europe. So, to continue the concept we focused this time on local craftsmanship and retail shops. We pass by shops every day but rarely get to know more about them. For the \u201cre-tale\u201d series we wanted to portray the owner in front of their shop and also tell their story.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Patisserie Boulangerie Boris, Paris<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_29057\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianerras.com\/paris_re-tale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29057\" class=\"wp-image-29057 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Paris_Re-Tale_SebastianErra.png\" alt=\"Photograph of the facade of Patisserie Boulangerie Boris for Paris Re-Tale Project by Sebastian Erras\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boris Lum\u00e9, standing proudly at the entrance of his lovely bakery-confectionery. \u00a9Sebastian Erras\/ Pixartprinting.<br \/><em>&#8220;Boris Lum\u00e9 took over this bakery and confectionery just three years ago, in 2013, but he is well aware of its century-old history. In the gorgeous decorations in the front, there is a drawing of the Moulin de la Galette, an ancient windmill that is the symbol of its neighbourhood, Montmartre. The Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, by Renoir, is one of the most celebrated works of Impressionism, a movement led by artists who used the Montmartre as their open-air workshop in the late 19th century. While the Patisserie Boulangerie Boris is on the list of French historical monuments, Boris himself bakes little masterpieces every day: particularly the lovely \u201cpetit choux\u201d, a puff pastry typically \ufb01lled with whipped cream. Apparently, Meryl Streep became a fan when she \ufb01lmed a scene from \u201cJulie and Julia\u201d here.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Lh: Why Paris and Lisbon?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sebastian Erras:<\/strong> We picked Paris because of its history and architecture. Also, the fact that I am very familiar with the city made it an easier pick.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Paris is so beautiful that travelers are often blinded by the glow of its tourist hot spots. But if you dig below the surface, you will uncover another story of the city. A story made by the people who put art and creativity at the core of their everyday life. A look inside some of the Paris shop fronts, at the life going on behind them, will bring you closer to the vibrant pulse of the city.<br \/>\nThe beauty of Paris is more than its amazing museums and monuments. Ancient families of craftsman and young designers, food lovers and music addicts, even opticians and dry cleaners, display a unique savoir-faire that adds creativity to everyday life. Their workshops, laboratories, and boutiques tell a different tale of the city. Next time you go to Paris, take some time to delve into this world: you will not regret it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With Lisbon, we wanted to show a city that has become a very popular travel destination lately but also has a rich history.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Lisbon\u2019s light is unique. The sun shines spectacularly even in winter months. Its rays bounce off every corner of its streets. They highlight the beautiful shapes of its old stores and workshops, the unchanging background to centuries of the city\u2019s life. The same light seems to shine from the people who work in them: welcoming, smiling men and women who love their land and its history.<br \/>\nEntering the most beautiful shops in Lisbon is a way to discover the city in a different way. There is an authenticity there, a mirror on how the great events of history were transformed by the craft and creativity of the Portuguese genius. Lisbon\u2019s craftsmen and merchants seem to bear the sun of the city inside them: they are always ready to shake your hand and welcome you. Don\u2019t forget to meet a few of them when you visit Lisboa.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em><strong>Dreaming of visiting Portugal?

The 130-year-old family-run Camisaria Pitta is probably the only place in Portugal where one can buy such as items as suspenders for men, says owner Alfredo. In fact, here a man can get all he needs to hit the streets in style, from socks to hat. But custom-made shirts are its specialty. The wood craftsmanship of the shop\u2019s design creates a feeling of professionalism \u2013 \u201ca welcoming space for the client to have his privacy in the tailor\u2019s workshop\u201d, Alfredo explains. Winner of various awards, the shop has figured in such movies as \u201cNight Train to Lisbon\u201d. But Alfredo says he feels his shop is a lonely outpost in the neighbourhood these days. \u201cWe would like to see more traditional shops around us so that clients would have more motivations to come and buy on this street\u201d, he says.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Lh: \u00a0Did you have any specifically intriguing encounters with any of the shop owners?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>SE:<\/strong> When I was in Lisbon and had to photograph the famous cafe \u201cA Brasileira\u201d, they had set up their terrace with big umbrellas, blocking the view, just in front of their cafe. When I explained to him that I couldn\u2019t take a picture of the facade he was more than happy to help me move all the umbrellas, chairs and tables so that I could get the image that I wanted. Having such cooperative collaborators for such a project is not always a given, as most of the time I only had a few minutes of their time to take the images, while the business continues.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8216;Coffee and Culture&#8217; at\u00a0<\/strong><strong>A Brasileira, Lisbon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_29052\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianerras.com\/lisbon_re-tale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29052\" class=\"wp-image-29052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lisbon_Re-Tale-Cafe_a_Brasi.png\" alt=\"A photograph of the facade of Cafe A Brasileira with owner outside for Lisbon Re-Tale project by Sebastian Erras\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Jo\u00e1o Silva, one of the owners of Lisbon\u2019s most famous coffeehouse.\u00a0\u00a9Sebastian Erras\/ Pixartprinting.<br \/><em>&#8220;Brazilian coffee, now considered among the best in the world, did not have many fans in the early 20th century. In 1905, a Portuguese who had lived and cultivated coffee in Brazil returned to Lisbon and opened A Brasileira, hoping to change opinions about his brew. The coffee shop won over converts. But more importantly, A Brasileira became a meeting point of artists and intellectuals after the beginning of the Portuguese Republic in 1910 and the right to freedom of assembly. The cultural icon Revista Orpheu was conceived there. In 1925, 11 paintings by seven new generation artists were exposed at the caf\u00e9, as a statement in favour of modern style. In 1971, another 11 paintings by contemporary artists were displayed, validating the new once again.

Some of the shops I pass by every day but never really knew about their history. It was very interesting to discover some of their stories, like the exterminator shop of the Arouze family that even played a part in Disney\u2019s \u201cRatatouille\u201d movie and they also wrote a guide about Paris but from a rat\u2019s perspective.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Le Bonhomme de Bois, Paris<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_29047\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianerras.com\/paris_re-tale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29047\" class=\"wp-image-29047 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/15-Paris_Re-Tale_SebastianE.png\" alt=\"Photograph of the facade and owner of Le Bonhomme de Bois for Paris Re-Tale Project by Sebastian Erras\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yann Bilhaud waits for children at the door of the toy shop he runs. \u00a9Sebastian Erras\/ Pixartprinting.<br \/><em>&#8220;If you want to see the room you always dreamed to sleep in when you were a child, then go to the Bohomme De Bois shop, near the Bastille Square.

This jeweler was magnificently decorated in 1914, 11 years after its opening in 1903. The richness of the space has always matched that of the jewels it sold: the shop has received numerous national and international jewelry awards.

Since its foundation in 1924, the Lisbon jeweler Joalharia Do Carmo has been a participant in that story. It crafted dozens of gold pieces in this jewelry for ships\u2019 baptisms. During World War II, many Jews fleeing Europe sold their gold here to pay for their escape. \u201cThat was a lesson for me: I understood that in war and turmoil the most valuable assets are gold, coin, and precious stones, because money loses its value\u201d, says Alfredo, nephew of one of the founders, who owns the shop today. Photographs hanging in the shop\u2019s windows show some key moments of its history. They also show that nothing has changed in the facade and furniture of the shop in its 55 years. \u201cThe way of serving clients is the same, too\u201d, adds Alfredo. While the Joalharia Do Carmo still maintains its commitment to Portuguese products, like the classic local gold filigree, it has adapted to today\u2019s tourist Lisbon with products like beautiful miniatures of the city\u2019s tramways to hang on necklaces and bracelets.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8216;Doll\u2019s Last Resort&#8217; &#8211;\u00a0Hospital de Bonecas, Lisbon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_29054\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sebastianerras.com\/lisbon_re-tale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29054\" class=\"wp-image-29054 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lisbon_Re-Tale-Hospital_de_.png\" alt=\"Photograph of the facade of Hospital de Bonecas for Lisbon Re-Tale Project by Sebastian Erras\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Manuela Cutileiro and one of the dolls cured at her doll hospital. \u00a9Sebastian Erras\/ Pixartprinting.<br \/><em>&#8220;In 1830 Lisbon was still recovering from its terrible 1755 earthquake.
