Paris 21
After my trip to Ushuaia, I felt 35mm was not giving me enough of a view to capture some interesting moments in all of its magnitude and beauty. At the same time, I wanted to experience what would it feel to do street and city landscape with such a wide angle glass. Change my view of the world and learn to compose with 90 degrees. What could be done, how close and how much I could capture inside a single frame.
The perfect opportunity came when we decided to take a one day drip to Paris. Took the train from Avignon to Paris early in the morning and came back later that day. In shorts, one crazy field day.
While in the train I had another crazy idea: I would work to create a small series, “Paris 21”. I would take pictures for one day all in 21mm in Paris, select the ones that best represented Paris and share then. Easier said than done, but I was hyped about the challenge.
Paris is Paris, it’s been photographed for centuries but I still wanted to share my moments, my view, a small portion of what caught my eye. How Eiffel and Louvre would look through a super wide framing. I hope you all enjoy Paris 21., as much as I enjoyed the process of creating these because this one unforgettable day.
