Exploring Paris alongside a dear friend, my camera became a storyteller capturing the city's charm and complexities. Beneath its romantic allure, Paris grappled with contemporary issues – a clash of tradition and modernity etched into its iconic architecture.
Together, we navigated the cobblestone streets, documenting not just the grand monuments but also the nuanced struggles of urban life. Each photograph framed Paris as a living canvas, revealing its challenges with social disparities and the evolving cityscape.
The personal connection of visiting a friend added depth to my photographic journey, infusing the images with the warmth of shared moments. Despite the city's complexities, capturing Paris through my lens became a poignant exploration of its resilience, its people, and the delicate dance between history and progress.
"Photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." - Elliott Erwitt
