Paris, The City of Lights
DESCRIPTION
It’s not necessarily what we would picture when thinking of Paris as the city of lights. Yet it is the one I wanted to show : these industrial lights that turn off the stars and replace them in Parisians everyday lives. AUTHOR
With astrophotography, I aim at bringing the viewer with me on a journey through the cosmos. This practice allows us to distinguish spaces otherwise inaccessible to common people. Growing up in the South of France, I spent my childhood biking in the Alps and wildcampings. This is how I became acquainted with the sky : a mysterious place that becomes fully visible through the photographic process. My passion led me to study engineering and photography at university. I later assisted artists such as Nicolas Henry, who made me discover surrealist photography. Having recently graduated, I am now backpacking in the mountains and taking pictures of nature and the stars.
