Modern architectural photography in La Défense

In the heart of western Paris, La Défense stands out as an open-air laboratory of contemporary architecture. Glass towers, concrete structures, reflections of steel: this urban area offers a diversity of forms and materials unique in Europe.

Through this series, I explore the lines of force and perspectives that compose this vertical landscape.

My gaze is drawn to the interplay between light, geometry, and matter, where brutalist architecture meets the modernity of recent towers. These photographs reveal a vision that is both analytical and poetic of Europe's largest business district.
