Dom Rui

The magic of Paris lives in its details: beautiful old façades, wrought-iron balconies, narrow streets and that unmistakable sense of romance that seems to live somewhere between the buildings. For La Vie En Passant, photographer Dom Rui captures exactly this timeless feeling in Montmartre, starring the gorgeous Valeria Alvarez. Moving between balcony views, soft light and private moments, the series feels like a little glimpse into a moment in Valeria’s world — elegant, intimate and effortlessly Parisian.

Images can hardly provoke anymore — at least not in the way they used to. The internet is full of everything one could possibly want to see. There’s nothing that doesn’t exist. But that’s not the role of photography anymore — if it ever was. Images should inspire. Let us forget the moment. Make a scene unforgettable — maybe even immortal.
