Chasing Paradise is a major monograph by internationally acclaimed photographer David Drebin, capturing the allure of fantasy, seduction, and emotional suspense in a hyperreal world. Known for his signature blend of cinematic drama and voyeuristic depth, Drebin invites viewers into dreamlike scenes of beauty, mystery, and unspoken narrative tension. The book documents a captivating journey from New York and Los Angeles to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Istanbul, staging powerful femme fatales against the gigantic, neon-lit backdrops of global metropolises. His panoramas, often shot from a bird’s-eye perspective at dusk or dawn, pay homage to Hollywood’s cinema, building an eternal space for imagination within visualized stories of solitude and desire. Never before has temptation seemed so excruciating—or so desirable.
