The other side of Paris- David Testinsky

-

  David Tesinsky is a photographer who has taken a selection of images taken in Paris. What is striking, especially in one of Europe's most affluent and culturally diverse cities is the amount of poverty in plain view. He creates an interesting duality of poverty and wealth in the same place. 

Some time ago, he did some photographic work in Japan in slums. These were areas that the tour guides working for these cities tend to swerve and avoid. Tesinsky paints a disturbing but all too real view of our major cities in the C21.





According to the photographer "
The most shocking moment for David was when he pictured a woman lying at the bus stop. She was cradling a baby and eventually let David come closer."  David Tesinsky. Photographer David Tesinsky captures powerful photos of poverty in Paris | Metro News

Such images show a social documentary that is not in the official media news which promotes the city. These hard-hitting images have to be sought out by the photographer.
