Memories: Paris


I love the stark red of the Pasquale Bruni shop in this shot against the more earthy and black colours of the young lady walking past.

This shop is in the Rue de Rivoli in Paris, I'm reasonably certain...
correct me if I'm wrong please.

Little more to remember except that my beloved and I were doing the tourist walk. You know see as much as you can for the very limitted time that we had in this fascinating city.

It's a little bit about waiting for the someone to walk past, in order to make the shot more interesting. The more interesting thew person looks the better the shot is going to be.

Street, or candid shots are always the best. A person shot in a public space is OK to be photographed. Although it is always better if you do ask their permission to take a candid shot.

Oh where have we gone in the last few years re a persons rights for anonymity or privacy. Very frustrating for photographers who sell their work to have to chase a person to get a disclaimer giving their permission for them to be in the photo.

Did I permission for this shot? No I didn't. But this young lady is in a public area.
