United Arab Emirates

This Spot is purely amazing : you just need to climb up to level 42 of Shangri-La hotel and it's there.
You can shoot daytime or night, it does not matter, pictures will always be amazing.
The perspective offered by the highway in the foreground blends perfectly with the Burj Khalifa and possibilities are endless!

Enjoy!

Amazing Dubai skyline

France

An incredible point of view on the Eiffel Tower that you will never forget!
This Spot is so beautiful that, while I was there shooting with my camera, some random strangers asked me to take pictures of them. Some of them even offered money on the spot! 😂

I have to say, this spot is very well known. BUT, if you come early morning or during sunset in weekdays, you might get a chance to nail a perfect photo or video!

Eiffel Tower sunset!

I love this Spot whenever I travel to Paris because it captures many things: the Sacré Coeur of course, but also the emblematic "Carrousel de Montmatre" but MOST IMPORTANT, the life of Parisian people at its purest expression.

Small photography tips 👉 Try going during night to capture a long-exposure photography while the Carousel is moving, I'll definitely try it nex time!

Beautiful Sacré Coeur

The Atlantis in Dubai is really a destination itself... 
I managed to capture the sun setting right inside The Atlantis by calculating its path with the app Photopills 😍
I was standing at The Pointe, just in front of The Atlantis.

Two ladies were looking at the view, I shouted so they could hear me and asked them to pose for me, which they did 👏🏼

Perfect sunset, The Atlantis

If you are an amateur of Timelapses you can only appreciate the beauty of this secret spot... 📸

Hidden near the business district "La Défense" (next to Paris), I had to climb and kind of break the law to reach it, but it was definitely worth it 🤣

I stayed quite late so I got the day mood and night mood, which turned out really great in my timelapse!

Secret timelapse spot!

The Marina district in Dubai is an amazing playground for photographers, especially if you like night pics! 🌟

From the building lights, to the boats cruising and so on, it is not difficult to capture amazing shots.
On those pics, I played with the long exposure to get those light trails effect.
I also edited quite heavily the sky 🤫

If you're just looking for a walk, it's also perfect, mostly at night when it gets cooler and busier.

Dubai Marina by night 📸

Took these pictures at Discovery Gardens in Dubai, which is the world's largest natural flower garden 🌹

In the middle there is a flowered Emirates A380 which required half a million fresh flowers and living plants!
The garden is not waouh, but the plane quite impressive!

Emirates plane in a Garden!

Probably the best picture I've taken so far 😍

I have patiently waited for the sun to set inside the ferris wheel, from Dubai Marina public beach (I confess, I was just swimming around 😬) and I definitely don't regret it!!

The sun was right inside the wheel for only a minute, so if you try this shot, don't miss it!
Also, definitely bring a telephoto zoom lens if you have one, it will make the sun bigger and more impressive 👍🏼

Sunset in Dubai Wheel!

This Spot is truly a jewel: the "Butte Bergeyre" 👍🏼

This place is perfect for a photo session as it's very Parisian but also just a walk. If you like unknown and exotic places, you need to go there 👌🏼
There is an amazing view on the Sacré Coeur, I could not resist as you can see on the behind the scene 😎

💡 Quick tips: try to go during weekdays as it might be busier on weekends and make the experience less authentic.

Secret Montmatre view 😍

This Spot offers you an exclusive view on the Marina skyline 👍🏼

Only few photographers know about this location because you need to walk a lot and climb down here and there to reach it but you won't regret it if you give it a try!

The rocks in the foreground create natural leading lines to the skyline, composition possibilities are endless!

I included a behind the scene for you to see how the spot looks like 😈

Marina view, hidden gem! 😍

Breahtaking full Dubai skyline view 😱

Located in Dubai Creek Harbour, I am crazy about this Spot becasue it gives you a full view of the skyline, including the emblematic Burj Khalifa.👍🏼
Depending on when you visit the Spot, you can enjoy the sun setting behind one of the towers...

I shot it with a telephoto lens (70-200mm) to get the maximum compression and make  the sun look bigger!

Full Dubai Skyline 😍

This bridge is not the most famous Parisian bridge like Bir-Hakeim or Pont des Arts but it is definitely not less charming 😍

I went there at night and by using long exposure I managed to make everyone else disappear on the pictures 🤭

Parisian Bridge, Pont Louis-Philippe 👍🏼

Few years ago I have been fortunate enough to get access to the penthouse of The Edition hotel in Dubai, facing Burj Khalifa 😍

The view on Downtown is just speechless so I spent some time to do pictures, video and of course a Holy Grail timelapse (day to night transition) 😈

It is not a very accessible Spot but I really wanted to share it.

Exceptional view on Burj Khalifa 😱

This bridge is not the most famous Parisian bridge like Bir-Hakeim or Pont des Arts but it is definitely not less charming 😍

I went there at night and by using long exposure I managed to make everyone else disappear on the pictures 🤭

Even though it's an obvious and very famous Spot, I always like to photograph the Pont des Arts 🎨
Its unique shape unlock endless possibilities and angles for photographers 

It is also famous for being the "Love Locks" bridge. Couples were attaching lovelocks with their names on the railing, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, to seal their union. 
But the number of locks on the bridge became overwhelming and they all cut them down in 2015...
They gathered 1 milion of locks, weighting 45 tons 🔒😱

Pont des Arts 😍

Bluewaters is an artificial island built in Dubai Marina. You can go for a walk there but it's also a perfect Spot to take nice pictures and have an amazing view on the Marina.

I went there one day, it was very crowded and this lady randomly asked me to take a picture of her for her Instagram 😂
So she started to pause, I took the shot, she saw it, said it's very nice, we then started a quick chat and left, but she forgot to give me her contact to send her the pic 🤣
