Paris Photo Daily #60

Rooftops and Reveries | James Christopher Knight | 2024

I captured this iconic view of Paris from the platform of the Pompidou Center, a place that has always inspired me with its breathtaking perspective of the city. Sadly, the Pompidou is set to close in 2025 for several years of renovation, and this cherished view will be inaccessible for a while.

Parisian rooftops have long been a hallmark of classic photography, immortalized by countless artists and photographers over the years. From Eugène Atget to Henri Cartier-Bresson, these rooftops have served as a canvas for capturing the city’s timeless charm. In creating this image, I feel connected to that tradition, walking in the footsteps of those who have celebrated Paris through their lenses.

This photograph is my tribute to the beauty of Paris, its rooftops, and the Eiffel Tower standing tall against the sky. If this image resonates with you, it’s available for purchase—let it bring a piece of Paris into your home.
