Photo by @williamalbertallard // Paris, France, 2013
A woman descending the steps of the dinner cruise boat “Le Calife,” paused to gaze out at the golden shape of the Eiffel Tower on a rainy night on the Seine. I saw her and quickly made several exposures as she stepped down among the myriad of shapes that encompassed her figure. The geometric graphics of the image are striking and I felt quite fortunate in making it. It was one successful image out of several failures because, of course, the boat is moving, the person is moving, and the moment is fleeting. To take on perhaps the most iconic of Parisian subjects and come up with something well beyond a cliché is difficult to do. It was used as the lead picture in my essay on central Paris published in National Geographic magazine in May, 2014. When the layout for the story was completed, editor-in-chief Chris Johns told me, “That lead picture is a killer.” I had to agree.
