It is obvious that Paris is a photographer's paradise. You can spend a lifetime in this most romantic of all cities and still not have sufficient images to capture its true heart. Over the years it's been painted by more painters, written about by more writers and photographed by more photographers than possibly any other city on earth. Paris images are always in demand by travel magazines and websites worldwide.
It's not hard to understand why this is so. Paris has something to offer everyone. From the unmistakable beauty of the river Seine to the glitter of the Champs Elysees; from the awe-inspiring Eiffel Tour to the breath taking beauty of the Notre Dame; and from the treasures of the Louvre to the zest for life of Euro Disney, there's something that will excite a photographer no matter what his interests are.
The Eiffel Tower is only one example of how the French can take something that would have been considered awful in any other setting, and change it into among the world's favorite tourist attractions. When the Eiffel Tower was first built, it was frowned upon. Today it's a landmark of Paris.
The glass pyramid as you're watching Louvre is another example of how their sense of architectural adventure makes them think out of the box. They often create something that is not beautiful when you see it the very first time, but it grows on you through the years. This, it can be said, requires true genius.
No matter how much time you spend in Paris, you will probably never be able to take photos of all its architectural wonders. There are just so many painstakingly restored historical buildings of breathtaking beauty. If you value architecture, you will no doubt just want wander the streets 7 days a week and take images of the thousands of stunning doorways, windows, balconies and roofs.
Paris is about more than the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame though: To really capture the pulsating heart of Paris you can't leave without photos of the people: Students arguing over politics at the limitless sidewalk cafes, housewives negotiating prices at the market, old gentleman playing chess neighborhood, artists creating their masterpieces in the Latin Quarter. Perhaps just spend a day sitting at a sidewalk cafe taking images of life as it goes past in this most enchanting of cities.
