This iconic landmark, a symbol of Paris, transcends mere structure, becoming an experience. Witnessing its grandeur in person is surreal, its intricate details leaving a lasting impression. The challenge lies in capturing its essence anew, to present a fresh perspective amidst countless existing portrayals. Here, I share my exploration of the Eiffel Tower through my lens. From its historical significance to its captivating presence, each image aims to evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for this remarkable feat of engineering and artistry. ## About La Tour Eiffel {accordion title="More About the Eiffel Tower" open="false"} La Tour Eiffel (The Eiffel Tower) is one of the truly great iconic landmarks in the world; it is one of the many things that symbolises Paris. Built as a part of the 1889 World Fair and only intended to be part of the Parisian skyline for 20 years, 118 years later, the 'Iron Lady' remains one of the most beautiful and recognised structures in the world. It is so recognisable that it is a truly surreal experience the first time one experiences it in real life. It is amazing and moving to see it in person. Unsurprisingly, over 6 million people visit the Eiffel Tower each year (650+ million people have visited since it opened). Gustave Eiffel designed the Tower for the Paris World Fair of 1889 in honour of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) is probably one of the most photographed structures in the world, and herein lies the challenge — to try and photograph it differently. Nothing is right or wrong when photographing the Iron Lady. Some quick facts on La Tour Eiffel: it has been repainted 18 times; at 319 m it was the tallest structure in Paris and was the tallest in the world for 40 years; the foundations went 15 metres below ground. It was derided and disliked by many Parisians during its construction. After its intended 20-year 'life' it was to be dismantled, but Gustave Eiffel had the idea to use it as a military radio tower — an idea that saved it from demolition. {/accordions} ## Eiffel Tower — Photo Gallery ## Frequently Asked Questions What will I see in this Eiffel Tower photography gallery?The gallery presents the Eiffel Tower from multiple perspectives — from ground level looking up through the iron lattice, from across the Champ de Mars, and from angles that aim to show the structure in a fresh light.
