Kelvin Seet’s Photography

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!

I’ll be going to Paris tomorrow for the weekend, so I’ll be trying to take some street shots with my 40-150mm lens. Hope to get some nice meaningful pictures!

My aim would be candids of people and architecture. Not the usual kind where billions of photos had been taken. I’ll see what I can come up with.
