Paris: The City of Light, and Shadow

Paris Scott Allen Wilson

My Dear Paris, we meet again! My first trip to Paris was in 2018, and I’m still amazed by how much inspiration can be obtained from one singular city. The City of Light (Ville lumière) is undoubtedly a place of luxury, romance, and grandeur—but this time, I was interested in focussing beyond the postcard-perfect scenes.

Photography, and the Art of Finding Beauty in Unexpected Places

I’ve learned something over the years as a photographer—not just as someone who clicks a shutter but seeing the world that extends beyond my camera. It’s a subtle skill that has nothing to do with gear or technique and/or or perfect symmetry. Sure, composition, light, and timing matter. It’s about training my mind to recognize beauty everywhere, even in the places others might overlook.

Parma and URTH

The first time I came to visit Parma was probably in 2013. Parma was high on the list at the time, because one of my favorite things to eat is Prosciutto di Parma, which is a very famous type of cured ham that is made there.

Architecture Through My Eyes

If you ever go through my social media posts, you’ll clearly see my passion for architectural photography. You may have read through my thoughts in the captions – which sometimes appear to be just random ideas, but the truth is that there is something about capturing these artistic images of architecture that inspire me to share my thoughts- not only capturing moments or aesthetic scenes, but capturing feelings, emotions, memories, energies; there’s just something about architecture that inspires me.
