Alain Laboile – Waiting for the Postman (photo book 2012) is a rare collection of black and white photographs by the renowned French photographer Alain Laboile. With a preface by Gérald Vidamment and published by KnowWare, this 95-page bilingual French/English hardcover book poetically and playfully captures the carefree lives of his six children in their home, their large garden, and the surrounding countryside.

For the past six years, Alain Laboile has dedicated his work to childhood, creating spontaneous images of his children on a daily basis. Free from voyeurism and the rigidity of everyday life, his photographs reveal a world of carefree joy, freedom, and surprises. Each shot transforms the everyday into a poetic moment: an object, a person, or a place suddenly takes on a new dimension thanks to the powerful and timeless black and white.

This beautiful book presents a selection of the most cherished moments in the lives of this “band of endearing wild children,” a life punctuated by play, wonder, and the art of living without constraints. A highly sought-after rarity for lovers of contemporary photography, artistic family portraits, and independent photo publishing.
