Luxe Ordinaire

I have been going to Paris for years without trying to photograph it.

Tourists queue to photograph themselves, facing away from the city.

In 2025 I spent four days walking, from early morning to fading light. I kept finding not the landmarks, but what gathered around them. Flowers left to wilt beside bins. Coca-Cola cans taking the same light as the windows above them. Bodies compressed into accidental patterns in the metro.

Paris presents luxury as effortless. Luxe Ordinairestays with the moments when effort and appearance share a frame.
