Crowning La Seine - By © ChristianKleiman.com
TITLE: Crowning La Seine DESCRIPTION: Even before its construction was completed, the tower was already in the eye of the storm of social debates. She was severely ridiculed by the critics of famous names in the World of Arts and Letters. But the impossible came true and the tower, with its almost 131 years old, has taken roots. Tiny Planet of an impressive Eiffel Tower imposing over Seine River.

LOCATION: Paris, France 2016 © Christian Kleiman ➡️ CLICK HERE TO VIEW 360º VR PANO PHOTO. STATEMENT A Tiny Planet is a surreal concept that represents my experimental process pushing the medium to new directions. By revealing the hidden landmark of any landscape. An innovative composition. Something new or interesting in a way that you may have never seen before. At a glance, it may appear different, provocative, cute, and even amazing, but when looked at it closely you will find that it is expressing a whole new Microverse. A concept of a fragile planet, floating like a bubble in isolation to protect its valuable ecosystem. I would like to share my vision about a location and suggest that each place has its own landmark. My vision strives in provoking an awakening to see the world differently by changing our perception. TECHNIQUE & EQUIPMENT: High-Resolution Image made from 4 bracketed shots stitched together. Canon EOS 5DMkIII + Sigma 8mm fisheye lens + tripod with panoramic head. Many hours of dedication in removing distractions and cleaning dirty streets which are always full of chewing gums, cigarette butts, and unfinished road works. As well as removing many people and cars out of the scene in order to highlight the architecture’s cityscape.

Red-Copper Bridge
TITLE: Red-Copper Bridge DESCRIPTION: Although very short and discreet, the Pont-au-double is always a success never denied. Not only is it one of the busiest Parisian bridges, directly connecting the "Quartier Latin" to the "Parvis-Notre-Dame", but it is also the only one exhibiting a copper-red railing that makes it unique.
