Since 1994, Nars’ photographic compositions have been celebrated for their vibrant interplay of color and form. While Nars finds inspiration everywhere, his abiding influence is old Hollywood glamour, with a specific fondness for the romantic South Seas.
NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday 2013 Color And Gifting Collection
After several trips to French Polynesia, Nars was so taken with the region that he purchased Motu Tané, an island off the coast of Bora Bora. For over ten years he has been capturing the landscape, the culture and the people of this region with assiduous attention to detail.

In a departure from his recognized subject matter, Faery Lands is the first published collection of his personal photographs.
Eschewing the digital format, Nars uses a large format film camera to capture the intrinsic beauty of the islands and its inhabitants, offering the reader a private tour of this tropical paradise. The rich sepia-toned portraits juxtaposed with radiant seascapes are nothing but bewitching. Faery Lands is a must-have for style, travel, and culture enthusiasts.
