This is so awesome. When the sun fades behind the rooftops, photographer Alan Cornu packs up his gear, puts on his boots and heads to the nearest ladder that will lead him to the most secret views of Paris. Up there is where he does his magic, photographing the rooftop view of the city.

It’s difficult to get the shot you’re trying to achieve at night.

The beauty of Paris is overwhelming whether you’re walking its streets or looking down at it from above, but not a lot of us get to see it from above.

One must wonder how he skips across these rooftops.

He lived in an attic room as a student in the 80s.

From time to time, we’re even treated to surreptitious views through an open window.

He addresses not only famous monuments, but also the iconic images of the Parisian skyline.

Charming interior courtyards, chimney pipes, tiny skylights and gently sloping zinc rooftops — iconic images of Paris.

“I wanted to set my story at night, when the city, like a big animal that ran all day long, gets her breath back and finds its intimacy. The artificial lights structure the space and help me compose my images,” explained Alan.

Gargoyles.

“When I take pictures, I put myself in a contemplative state which makes me look at things differently. And, besides composition, I’m focused in details, matters, and light,” said Alan.
