SAME LOCATIONS - DIFFERENT BIKES.
I sometimes spend a lot of time exploring my surroundings to find an interesting spot to shoot a bike. I even gave up a few times because I couldn't find anything interesting.
When I want to avoid that or don't want to spend too much time searching, I simply go back to places I already know, which will likely get me a result that will satisfy me.
The problem with doing that is that if I always go to the same places, I don't discover any new ones, and my photos all end up looking the same.
As I’ve said before, the environment in which I’m shooting a bike is as important to me as the bike itself – if not more.
All of them (except two) are located in the Paris suburbs (around La Défense, a business district scattered with skyscrapers and dark, gloomy spaces at their base).
Here are a few of those places, sorted in no particular order.

︎ This is one of the two spots that aren’t located at La Défense, as it is is the wall of the parking garage where I live. This is where I take pictures of my own bikes when I REALLY don't feel like spending too much time going somewhere else.
