Twisted, weird, odd pictures of Paris

by David Henry. Not for everyone! Naturally my web site has quite a commercial aspect to it and for the most part I display the “prettiest” photographs that are most likely to sell. But this isn’t the only kind of photography I like. Here are pictures of the bizarre, eccentric, freakish and quirky sides of the City of Light that I’ve put to the side, so as to avoid shocking my usual visitors.

All of these pictures are available as high-resolution TIFF image files and naturally any of these pictures can be converted to black and white. Many others were taken at each photo shoot, so there are plenty of other choices if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for. Photography shoots can also be arranged in Paris and the surrounding regions…
