Axel, Localgrapher in Paris

Style:

My favorite style is street photography and when I shoot portraits, I like to have a natural look with nice expressions, or sometimes a good pose with an attitude, most important part is to make the model comfortable. I really like shooting in black and white, as it gets rid of the unessential.

Likes:

I love to cook and go to restaurants as well, nothing beats a good long meal with friends and laughter. I also love traveling alone so I can get lost in a city and take photos. I also like singing, always singing…

Recommended places:

Around Biblitothèque François Mitterand, because it’s graphic, and just below, you have the Seine river with a more “nature” scenery as well a the Bercy park just across.
Montmartre as well, because it’s typical and so charming, with loads of small passages with amazing highlights and shadows.
Eiffel tower, because of course, it’s the most famous monument so very in demand, and so amazingly beautiful and impressive.
La petite Couronne, which is an ancient railroad around Paris, with grass and plants between the rails and lots of graffiti street art, and stylish tunnels (not for the faint-hearted!).
Jardin des Tuileries, beautiful gardens and next to the Louvre and the great Rue de Rivoli. And many more!

Languages spoken:

I speak French, English, and Spanish.
