Kelvin Seet’s Photography

It was a fantastic 3 days stay in Paris where both Bernice and I walked all over Paris and visited most of the main tourist attractions in the romantic city. We soaked in the sights, sounds and aromas of the city while breathing in the cold winter air, walking hand in hand.

Throughout the stay, we visited the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Place de la Concorde, The Louvre Museum, Notre Dame de Paris, The Eiffel Tower, Galleries Lafayette, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, Moulin Rouge and many other places where nothing failed to amaze us with their beauty and artistry.

From the gaze of the Mona Lisa, the body of Venus de Milo, the splendid wings of the Winged Victory and the astounding artifacts from Egypt and beyond, to the very top of the engineering marvel of The Eiffel Tower, this visit to Paris was one to remember. If I were to continue describing what the both of us felt for every magical moment in this part of France, you may just start checking for packages to Paris!

So let me use my photography to show you what we have seen through our eyes…

Like a classically beautiful pointer that directs your vision to the heavens, the Eiffel Tower of Paris is the one of the most distinctive and perhaps the only landmark in this magnificent world of ours that signifies and symbolises the magical word, Romance…

I took a walk from the hotel to this statuesque location this afternoon. Although the weather was not very favourable for photography, as it was overcast and grey, I decided that black and white photos should do fine. So off I went on a 2km walk, taking photographs along the way. When I reached my destination, I was not surprised to see the great mix of nationalities and people, from all over the world, taking their share of photos of the historical structure.

It was my first serious attempt at street photography and though the weather sort of dampened my enthusiasm, I didn’t want to give up just because of it. Though it was not easy, I managed to pull together some shots that I hope you’ll like. There are some shots that I left in their original colours as I felt that they were more representative of what I visualised. As for my landscape and architectural photos, I was trying to break out of the mould of what others will usually shoot, so do leave me your comments as I will be very keen to know if I have succeeded!

If you have not seen this place yet, if you ever have the chance, I wish that you will do so with your loved ones. As seeing it with your very eyes for the first time, gives you the feeling of nostalgia, where your mind will drift back to the very moment that you gave your loved one that magical first kiss…

J’espère que vous apprécierez les photos!
