Discover the Place de la Concorde Fountain in the foreground of this Black and White Photo. It is called the Fountain of the Rivers and is orientated to the north, towards the Madeleine church. Large figures represent the Rhône River and the Rhine River. Built together with the fountain in the South the architect wanted the entire ensemble would be harmonious and balanced.
I have been to this place de la Concorde fountain many times and looked out for the best angle to photograph it. I also wanted to get this sense of harmony and balance of the entire place. It turned out that there was exactly one spot where the camera could be (a thing of millimeters). And this spot was very close to the water. But the wind often blows water jets all over the place so that the lens and the camera gets wet. And not even talking about the photographer… . So the challenge to overcome was to obtain a clean image before this happens.
Therefore, lots of patience and long waiting for the wind to calm down to get the photograph I had in mind was necessary. And on one very day it was all aligned. The wind suddenly stopped for a couple of seconds, the sky looked dramatic, and the city lights had just turned on.
I’ve made this photograph in black and white. This is because black and white photos naturally emphasize shape and form. Here I wanted to highlight the shape of the fountain spraying the water and the obelisk in the background.
