All the splendour of this beautiful region has been captured in 150 spectacular photographs in a recently launched book titled simply ‘Picardie’. The book, in a compact format, displays the heritage, the main towns and villages, nature and landscapes in a lavishly illustrated tribute to the area.
The photographer Pascal Lando was born in Amiens and grew up in Le Bray-sur-Sommes in the valley of the upper Somme. It was in this area that he discovered the delights of photography, black-and-white and colour before moving to digital. Pascal often exhibits locally and is the author of the book ‘Amiens and the Pays de Somme’ published in 2007. This is the first time he has worked with the author of the book Marival Julien.
Marival was born in Laon; he studied advanced journalism before becoming a freelancer for ‘L’Équipe’ sports magazine from 2002 to 2004. He now has responsibility for the Service Culture on the daily ‘Planète Amiens’ (Hersant Media) and has contributed greatly to the 2007/2008 edition of Amiens city guide for ‘Le Petit Futé’
