Ferris Wheel In The Moonlight

  • Photographer
    Adrian Schaub

In the Garden of the Tuilieries next to the Louvre in Paris (France) there is a Ferris Wheel. In this picture I liked the spearheads of the old fence and the traditional lampposts below as contrast to the modern Ferris Wheel. The almost full moon provides the icing of the cake

The overarching theme of my photography is the children’s game “I see something you don’t see”, as I try to capture the special in the everyday. I like regular shapes and structures of any kind. I further have a weakness for the ephemeral as well as for animals and plants. In my street photography people are interchangeable anonymous actors, hence you typically don’t recognise their faces. Animals are part of the city life and their irregular activity contrasts with the regular forms of streets and buildings, whose leading lines ideally aim for a corner of the picture.
