About the Work

Photographer Julien Scussel has spent six years capturing the Parisian football team and its players, offering an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the project that has transformed the emblematic Parisian Club and its imprint in the world of sports. His work, showcased in a one-of-a-kind book, transcends traditional sports photography, bringing together a collection of shots that are nothing short of extraordinary. The book features international football icons such as Pelé, alongside French author and screenwriter David Foenkinos, a loyal supporter of the club, who narrates the book. The collection includes close-up shots that are akin to paintings and capture incredible detail, evoking all sorts of emotions. From Paris and New York to Tokyo and Doha, the book includes all the figures who have contributed to the club's fame, including Beckham, Ibrahimović, Cavani, Neymar Jr., Messi, and Mbappé. The limited edition book, available in French and English and numbered to 1,000 copies, is a must-have for all fans of the club, offering never-before-seen imagery in a beautifully curated volume that is handcrafted and finished with tip-on images placed by hand.
