Candid photography in Paris

Pictures of canal Saint-Martin, île de la Cité, île Saint-Louis, jardin des Tuileries, Montmartre, Notre-Dame, place de la Bastille, place de la Nation, place de la République, place des Vosges, pont des Arts, pont Notre-Dame, quai de l’Horloge, Sacré-Cœur, square du Vert-Galant, the Marais, the Pompidou Center, and Village Saint-Paul by photographer David Henry.

My first great love in photography has always been candids, pictures of people, in the street, doing odd, unusual, interesting things, and portraits. Since I’ve been living in Paris I’ve been taking much more of the typically pretty “postcard” kind of pictures, suitable for coffee table books since there are so much more to take here, and because they sell well, all the better. But street photography is still what holds my interest the most. Regardez cette page en français

Go to the main index of photographs of Paris, or take a look at pictures of…

All of these pictures are available as high-resolution TIFF image files, and naturally any of these pictures can be converted to black and white. Many others were taken at each photo shoot, so there are plenty of other choices if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for. Photography shoots can also be arranged in Paris and the surrounding regions…
