WELCOME TO PARIS My approach to seeing the world largely comes from my background as a press photographer. I'lI introduce you some of my methods and techniques that have helped me over the past 30 years as a professional photographer.
We will explore the streets of Paris in some of the most iconic locations and challenge ourselves to ask "How do we capture it differently ?"
We have all seen the postcards ! Now its time to create something nobody has ever seen before.
