Paris Fine Art Street Photography
Beyond the postcard - a paris invitation
now and then
we as individuals are just passing shadows, moments in a greater timeline
“Breathe Paris in. It nourishes the soul”
Victor Hugo
To breathe Paris in is to inhale history and an enduring spirit of joie de vivre.
remember
the first time you ever visited Paris?
That moment of disbelief: stepping out of the metro and realizing you are actually standing on ground you have only ever seen in films and books.
This buzzing city, perhaps a bit daunting at first, but one that ultimately captivated you
or maybe
your first contact with Paris was through the 7ème art?
Perhaps you fell for the Nouvelle Vague Paris, experiencing the city through the lens of a François Truffaut film, running through its streets with rebellious school boys, feeling the youthful anarchy of Les Quatre Cents Coups.
Or did you find your path up and down the steep hills of Montmartre, navigating the dreamlike Paris of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie Poulain, a Paris of pure, everyday magic and unexpected connections?

YOUR PASSION FOR STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
You've spent hours poring over the iconic images, immersed in the works of the street photography masters: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï, or Willy Ronis, who collectively left behind a timeless, irreplaceable legacy of this city.
Just to mention my personal favorites…
Or maybe you are dreaming of a romantic trip to Paris?
Une petite escapade à deux…..
a stolen moment away from the world, the promise of quiet, whispered intimacy
Lost in the arms of your one and only?
or perhaps you are a lover of French literature
and you have explored this multi-layered city through the profound and beautiful pages of its literary giants?
Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, colette or Daniel Pennac?
or maybe you prefer molière?
or even better
perhaps your first visit here is yet to come?
Maybe you are preparing yourself by dreaming about the little details that define Paris:
Like meeting Mona Lisa face to face in the museum of Louvre?
IF YOU KEPT NODDING IN AGREEMENT, you have come to the right place
Let me take you to the streets of paris
a city with many faces
not just a destination, but a character in its own right
The accidental tourist: finding the unexpected
timeless
but keeping up with the times
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still”
Dorothea Lange
This is the very essence of capturing Paris: freezing the ephemeral moment and holding it still for eternity
Portfolio
Welcome to my world
My images are not just a record of what I saw, but an offering to you. The picture is complete only when your eye meets it, when your own Parisian dream or memory is projected onto the captured scene.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
