Gregoire Ganter’s Alphabet City
Photographer Grégoire Ganter produces a distinctive range of children’s works, building collages from images gathered while riding or walking around his hometown of NYC.

The birth of Grégoire’s first child Léa was the inspiration for blending colourful images with letters to produce original photographic collages.
Ganter created Lea’s Alphabets in May 2003. Since then, he’s been assembling individual pictures and letters to produce one-of-a-kind compositions. What results is a unique and sometimes surreal artwork.
New York City’s energy and ever-changing architecture feature prominently in his collages. However, Ganter also uses images from his travels throughout the United States and Europe.
“I always have my camera with me, so I basically shoot all the time.”
Ganter may capture a bold primary colour from a yellow NYC taxi cab, or the neon glow of downtown signage. With an extensive library of thousands of pictures and letters, he can create a custom name print, and can even including a photo of your child.
Lea’s Alphabets series is available as postcards, single-letter or coloured themed collages and magnets.
