This photograph shows an aspect of the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris and frames the Cathedral’s French Gothic architectural style alongside another icon of Paris – the city’s Art Deco street lighting. The diagonal framing captures only the edges of the cathedral as the street lamp looms large in the foreground presenting a pedestrian image of the city. The image was taken as part of a series of images for a British Airways advertisement in 2008.
