The Story behind the picture: 'Made You Look'

'Made You Look'

My wife and I were just returning from a long, 13 mile walk around Paris when I spotted the red Ferrari parked just off the Champs-Elysées. The sun was enhancing the warm, yellow colour of the elegant limestone buildings and I framed the photo so that they would be in the background.

I had to stand in the side road to get the composition I wanted, thankfully for only a minute or two, watching out for traffic as I did.

I took a few photographs and was rewarded when the girl on the roller blades came across the road, taking a quick glance at the Ferrari as she went past. The moment was over in a second; a real 'blink and you miss it' opportunity, as so many are.

Later that afternoon I came across two men carrying a sofa on their heads but that will be a story for another day!

About the Prints

I have taken lots of photos over the years while travelling and I have started curating these into collections and making them available as fine art photographic prints. They are all my own photographs - small details and things that caught my eye. Each one is unique!

The collections include Cumbria, Paris, New York, and Amsterdam. There's a mix of colour and black & white, horizontal and vertical images. Each photograph has been printed onto 24x20 inch fine art paper. The photographic prints are unframed so they can be posted safely and so you can choose how to best display them to suit your home or office.
