Imagine you head to Le pont des Arts for a cigarette over the Seine River. I bet it will take around two minutes before the afternoon walk lovers surround you. (click on picture to enlarge)

Ce regard transperçant :-)
Tu as fait un sourire et tu t’es éclipsé ou bien il y a eu dialogue ;-) ?
Bien vu !
This photo is one of your best! Great story and a theme.
Beautiful. Great expressions, great color,…
a super shot and your descriptions really add the the power of the photo.
Did the people know that you had taken this, if you brought the camera to your eye, or did you take the picture away from your face? Most of your photo’s are taken from a nice distance but people seem unaware of you.
Once again a beautiful photo, Yanik.
I think you are doing a better job than the French Tourist Office, particularly your « Where to Shoot in Paris? » series. How I wish I could be there. May be 2012.
Thank you all.
To answer Lucy, I stopped in front of them looking opposite way at the river for a little while. Then I turned around quickly, focused and shot. They still saw me but did not have time to adapt their behaviour.
David, pratiquement jamais de dialogue à Paris, juste des sourires ;)
Ca confirme mon expérience ;-)
That picture almost perfectly sums up my experience when I stayed in Paris in early 20s single life. By the end of my visit was ready to grab the next Parisian man I saw to kiss just to join in with my surroundings. Wonderful moment you’ve recorded!
Elle rejoint ton post sur l’imagination… Qu’attendait-elle sur le banc ? Le destin lui aurait-elle joué un tour ?
Et toujours cette question, quel rapport intime se crée entre le photographe et le sujet ? Vaste sujet… ;)
Superbe cadrage. Ce 60mm en plein format te va à la perfection !
Gabriel, je ne crois pas trop au rapport intime entre le photographe et ses sujets car dès l’instant qu’il existe, la réalité est modifiée par sa présence. J’essaie absolument de ne pas modifier ce qu’il se passe devant moi, mais cela n ‘est pas toujours possible…. elle m’a vu mais n’a pas vraiment eu le temps de modifier son expression heureusement ;)
