Tiny Planet-sur-Seine
A Tiny Planet is a surreal concept that represents my experimental process pushing the medium towards new directions.
By revealing the hidden landmark of any landscape.
Something captivating, as 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.
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.
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.
Canon EOS 5DMkIII + Sigma 8mm fisheye lens + tripod with panoramic head.
Steel
TITLE:
Steel
DESCRIPTION:
The art of caging a 300 meter tower.
Eiffel Tower at the background looks like caged inside the massive steel beams of this bridge.
Both metallic structures, the Eiffel Tower and Debilly's Bridge were constructed for the same purpose; The Exposition Universelle de Paris.
They were also meant to be dismantled after the Expo, but here they are, wearing under the sky of Paris.

Crowning La Seine
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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:
The eternal versus the ephemeral, calm and rush. Together, define the roller coaster of life. The arch that describes the “Viaduc de Passy” supporting an aerial subway with its constant and fast swings, set the pace.

Siege of Paris
It’ sounds incredible that 1175 years ago this site was occupied by 120 Viking ships carrying thousands of men in order to invade France.
Nowadays the flow of the river brings along tourists on board the Bateaux-mouches which are captivated by the Ile de la Cité’s history.

Tribute
Notre-Dame is no longer up to its past after the terrible fire it suffered on April 2019. However, the meridian starting from the edge of the Quartier Latin, crossing the Pont -au-Double, continuing along rue d’Arcole and loosing its sight at a point of light up to the bridge with the same name, transforms that nostalgia into strength.
Let's take that feeling as an impulse to move forward and a motivation to learn, question and, therefore, grow.
