Painter of the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
A nimble painter balances precariously on the iron latticework of the Eiffel Tower, brush in hand, as the vast Parisian skyline stretches endlessly below. Marc Riboud's masterful composition transforms a routine act of maintenance into a graceful, almost balletic performance suspended high above the city. The gelatin silver print renders the intricate geometric steelwork in striking contrast against the soft, hazy atmosphere of Paris.
