Winter is coming, no one outside for a coffee

#photo #art #bwstreetphotography #humansOfBluesky #streetphotography #urbanphotography #paris #bnw #monochrome #b&wphotography
Black and white nighttime street scene showing an outdoor café with neatly arranged empty tables and chairs along the sidewalk. The café is beside a glass-walled building reflecting interior lights. Parked cars line the quiet street, illuminated by street lamps, with a few distant pedestrians. The composition evokes urban solitude and calm.

One of the pieces of gothic art that you can admire at le père Lachaise

#art #gothic #BWphotography #cemetery #humansOfBluesky #streetphotography #photooftheday #urbanphotography #paris #monochrome
A black-and-white photo of a weathered Gothic-style mausoleum in a cemetery. The structure features pointed arches, ornate carvings, floral motifs, and winged faces. Iron gates guard the dark interior, and surrounding gravestones and trees add to the somber, historical atmosphere. The Latin inscription “Audite ponum Aleluia” is faintly visible.

A walk through Père Lachaise this Monday...
Wrought iron, stained glass, silent cross.

Two ornate stone tombs in a cemetery under a cloudy sky. The tomb on the right features a pointed arch, intricate ironwork, and a stained glass window with a cross behind the door, inscribed ‘FAMILLE POULLIOT AINÉ.’ The tomb on the left has a cross atop and an inscription reading ‘TRAVAIL DANS LA MORT REPOSENT FAMILLE D.J. POTTÉCHER.’ The scene evokes a somber, atmospheric mood with historical and architectural significance.

Table with a view
#photos #B&Wphotography #art #humansOfBluesky #streetphotography #urbanphotography #paris #france #monochrome
Black and white photo of the exterior of a cozy French restaurant named “Chez Fernand.” The image is taken through a window, showing a warmly lit interior with diners seated at a table. The restaurant’s logo—crossed utensils and the year “1976”—is visible on the glass. A chalkboard menu in French is displayed on the right side, listing traditional dishes like Boeuf Bourguignon, Confit de Canard, and Crème Brûlée. The ambiance suggests an intimate, classic Parisian dining experience.

Paris: where even missing the metro may look cinematic

#photooftheday #art #BWphotography #B&Wstreetphotography #humansOfBluesky #streetphotography #urbanphotography #paris #monochrome
Black and white photo of the Mabillon subway station in Paris. A train speeds past the platform, captured in motion blur. On the left, two seated passengers and one standing figure wait near a wall with signage reading ‘MABILLON’ and ‘MAUBOUSSIN.’ On the right, a person stands partially visible. The wet platform reflects ambient light, adding a moody, atmospheric tone.

A couple shares an intimate embrace at night on Rue de la Gaîté in Paris, in front of the illuminated Théâtre Montparnasse. The street glows with warm lights, a silver car parked nearby, and passersby adding to the lively yet romantic atmosphere.

Finally I did a self portrait
#photography #photo #art #humansOfBluesky #photooftheday #fujifilm #BlueskyArt #SkyFeed #PhotoPoetry
A person holds a bald, cartoonish mask in front of their face. The mask features a simple smiley expression—two black dots for eyes and a curved line for a mouth—creating a surreal and playful disguise. The background is dark, emphasizing the contrast between the mask and the hand holding it. The image evokes themes of identity, concealment, and emotional minimalism.

Light sketches presence, shadow holds the rest.
#Photography #Exhibition #art #blackandwhitephotography #streetphotography #monochrome #humansofbluesky #photooftheday #photo
Five figures sit in quiet contemplation, bathed in soft side light that carves their silhouettes from the darkness. Their gazes converge off-frame, drawn to an unseen presence. The minimalist room, with its deep shadows and sparse seating, becomes a stage for introspection and collective attention. Cinq silhouettes assises dans la pénombre, sculptées par une lumière latérale douce. Leurs regards convergent hors champ, happés par une présence invisible. L’espace minimaliste, entre ombre et silence, devient le théâtre d’une attention partagée.

Exposition Denise Bellon - MAHJ Paris
At the Denise Bellon exhibition in Paris. Light, water, and surreal stillness.

#DeniseBellon #streetphotography #art #B&Wphotography #monochrome #paris #photooftheday #fineartphotography #Blueskyphoto #photofeed
A man stands in quiet contemplation before a large, monochromatic photograph at the Denise Bellon retrospective in Paris. The central image evokes surreal serenity—a figure submerged in water, arms outstretched, light rippling across their body. Framed works flank the scene, while soft gallery lighting and wooden floors heighten the meditative atmosphere. Un homme contemple en silence une grande photographie en noir et blanc lors de la rétrospective Denise Bellon à Paris. L’image centrale évoque une sérénité surréaliste : un corps immergé, bras ouverts, baigné de reflets lumineux. Des œuvres encadrées l’entourent, dans une galerie à l’éclairage tamisé et au sol en bois, propice à la réflexion.

When security fence captures the sunset, the light escapes like a lens flare
#photo #art #BWstreetphotography #humansOfBluesky #B&Wphotography #streetphotography #urbanphotography #bnw #monochrome
Black and white photo of a tall metal security fence with barbed wire, stretching along a paved path. The tightly woven mesh partially obscures industrial buildings and open land behind it. The low sun casts dramatic light through the fence, creating glare and circular lens flare. The image evokes confinement, tension, and stark beauty.

A teddy bear clings to stone.

Stone mausoleum with two fluted columns and a central plaque inscribed “Famille Federico Gentili di Giuseppe.” A teddy bear rests on the left column, and a floral tribute is placed on the door. Bare trees and nearby tombs suggest a quiet winter cemetery scene. Paris, Montparnasse graveyard

Style in motion: long coats, dark shades, and effortless presence. On the crosswalk, two figures claim the frame.

Parisian Street style in black and white: two stylish figures stride across a crosswalk, wrapped in long coats and shaded by sunglasses. A wide-brimmed hat, a crossbody bag, and a cool urban backdrop set the tone.

A quiet moment on the bridge—winter light slicing through cloud and stone, catching the rhythm of passing lives.
#StreetPhotography #BWPhotography #Urban #ParisMoments #monochrome #PhotoCommunity #FediPhoto #BlueskyPhoto
Photographie en noir et blanc d’un pont parisien en hiver, traversé par des passants. À l’arrière-plan, des immeubles anciens bordent la rue, tandis que le soleil bas perce les nuages, projetant des rayons dramatiques à travers les arbres nus. Atmosphère contemplative, entre lumière rasante et silhouettes urbaines. Black-and-white photo of a Parisian bridge in winter, with pedestrians crossing. In the background, old buildings line the street as the low sun breaks through clouds, casting dramatic rays across bare trees. A contemplative mood, shaped by slanting light and urban silhouettes.

A flicker of Parisian night. Two glasses, a few laughs, a conversation held between shadow and light.
#photographersofbluesky #B&Wphotography #humansOfBluesky #streetphotography #urbanphotography #paris #france #monochrome
drinks and conversation. One smiles warmly with a glass of wine in hand, while the other listens attentively. The scene is softly lit by a wall lamp, with a posted menu behind them. Multiple glasses on the table hint at a lingering, convivial moment. Deux personnes assises à une petite table de café en terrasse, de nuit, partageant un verre et une conversation. L’une sourit, un verre de vin à la main, l’autre écoute avec attention. Une lampe murale éclaire doucement la scène, avec un menu affiché en arrière-plan. Les verres sur la table suggèrent un moment chaleureux et prolongé.
