Paris scenes on film

For having only shot two rolls on film on Paris, I sure eked out a hefty number of blog posts. Bear with me for this somewhat miscellaneous photo dump of Paris scenes. Although I friggin' love NYC, Paris sure makes NYC buildings and apartments look downright ugly. We've got lots of brick, but they have this beautiful cream-grey stone. Every street way I looked down was another photo to be made.


By the way, all of my Paris photos are available to be purchased as prints. I've started listing a few on Etsy but just give me a holler if you'd like any of the ones I've posted on here. Merci! :)

  5. Absolutely adore the last two photographs. I had booked a trip to Paris in April but had to cancelled it the last minute, so I truly enjoy visiting Paris through your lens.

  8. I'm taking a trip to New York this summer and was wondering how traveling with film works? I heard somewhere that airport security (x-rays) damage film or something so am kind of worried of something bad happening! Would love if you could let me know! :) Beautiful photos by the way!

    1. You usually don't have to worry about film through x-rays unless you're travelling with ISO 800 speed and higher. If you're extra paranoid, you can have them handcheck it and usually they agree to.

  9. Beautiful! I don't know how you kept it down to 2 rolls of film. I'm going to Rome in October and I already know I'm going to come back with 10+ rolls! The light in Paris looks incredibly beautiful.

  13. Alice, your photos are breathtaking! I used to go to a local cafe, buy an espresso and croissant and sit there to people watch for hours. I can't agree more about the architecture. In a way, they remind me of London too except it's more vibrant and crowded here.

  20. Paris is probably on my list of top 3 favorite cities of all time :) If you liked Paris, you'll really love Rome! These photos are beautiful, and really take me back to La Ville-Lumière. Thanks for sharing all of them, Alice!
