London and Paris are an awesome twin location for photographers. What can you photo there? London, Neil’s Yard is perfect for those that like lots of colours in their photos. You should head here early before it gets too busy. To get to Neil’s Yard get off at Covent Garden underground station and then it’s only a short walk. View from the Shard : Definitely my favourite viewpoint in London. Options at the Shard are to go to the viewing platform on the top floor or stay in the amazing Shangri-La hotel. Both will present you with spectacular 360 views of the city. The Shard is also a good spot for sunset and blue hour pics.
The British Museum opened in 1753 and prides itself on remaining free ever since then. The British Museum houses more than an incredible 7 million objects, and it would probably take a week to see everything. Don’t be fooled into thinking the British Museum is full of artifacts from old England. No, in days gone by the English were incredible warriors and the British Museum is full of the treasures the soldiers brought back from distant shores. Those treasures include the Rosetta Stone, an Easter Island statue, and the earliest known image of Christ.
If you are visiting London for the very first time, this iconic palace is a must see. First of all, it’s the official dwelling place of the Queen of England. George III bought Buckingham House for Queen Charlotte in 1761 and the palace has gone through many renovations since then. In counting, it has about 774 rooms and holds thousands of guests each year for great royal events, ceremonies, and garden parties. Hanging on every wall of this royal palace are beautiful works of arts. The palace is open to the public from late July to September and on select dates in December, January, and April.
A triumph of Gothic architecture, the Notre-Dame stands in the heart of Paris on the Ile de la Cit? near the attractions of the Latin Quarter. An island in the Seine River, the Ile de la Cite is the historical and geographical center of Paris. On this small plot of land, the Romans built the Gallo-Roman city of Lutetia, and from the 6th century to the 14th century, the Kings of France resided here. The Notre-Dame Cathedral was founded in 1163 by King Louis IX (Saint Louis) and Bishop Maurice de Sully, and the construction took more than 150 years. The cathedral was first created in Early Gothic style, while later additions (the west front and the nave) show the transition to High Gothic style. Tourists are immediately struck by the ornamental design of the facade, with its profusion of sculptures and gargoyles, while elaborate flying buttresses provide structural integrity for the enormous building. Look out for the 21 figures above the doorway in the Gallery of Kings, who lost their heads during the Revolution. (The heads are now on display in the Musee de Cluny.)
Photographer Victor Guidini, who lives in London, has been photographing tourists in the capital of England since 2013. In recent years he has been doing photo shoots in France. “It all started when a customer who had done an essay in London asked if I would be available to shoot in Paris. At first I thought it would be difficult to be a profitable business, but I organized all the logistics that facilitated the rehearsals. Traveling by the Eurostar trains, I get to Paris in around 2 hours, and without all the waiting and paperwork that a travel area has. After considering the risks and investments required for this journey, I embraced the opportunity, “says the photographer. See more at Fotografo em Paris e Londres. According to Instagram data, the Eiffel Tower is the place of Europe most marked in photos by its users, and the fourth of the world. Such popularity is also reflected in the choice of places for photographic essays. “Although Paris is a city with several movie locations, the environs of the Eiffel Tower are still the most sought after places for photo shoots. The Louvre region is also very much in demand for photos, “says the photographer.
