Riding & Shooting
Paris, France
January 2024
This black-and-white photograph captures a moment of pure connection between a father and his daughter. Wearing a retro cap and carrying a camera, the father appears focused on taking a photograph, his eye pressed to the viewfinder, while his daughter sits perched on his shoulders. The little girl’s face is radiant, lit up by a joyful smile and sparkling eyes, as though she were sharing an amusing secret with the whole world. “Riding and Shooting” captures the essence of those small moments of shared happiness, when simply being together turns a walk into an adventure full of discoveries. It is a scene that speaks of family love, of passing on the pleasure of capturing the world with a camera, and of the bond between a parent and child. The simplicity of black and white lends it a timeless quality, making this moment universal and evoking similar memories that many of us hold dear.
